Daisy is a three month old German Shepherd puppy. Her owner contacted me because of her extremely high energy level and excessive play biting. Daisy is very sweet and confident but has a very high work drive. Daisy is a tricky case. She is well loved by her family but up until we started her training she was being penned outside for long hours while her owners worked and went to school. This was very hard on her and she quickly started to develop behavioral problems. Once I explained that Daisy was so hard to handle because of all the isolation she had, the family immediately jumped on board to meet her needs. Twice a week she is now going to a dog daycare and on the other days a dog walker comes to the home to give her a healthy workout. We have started obedience training her now, but the attention and exercise alone have had a huge positive impact on Daisy and her family's attitude about her and dog ownership. I am very happy for Daisy that her owners contacted me while she was still young and pliable. It will be easier to completely change her idea of humans and her world. Daisy is now one of the family. I can see that even though her owners started with virtually no knowledge of proper dog ownership,  they always wanted what was best for her. They just didn't understand what she needed. Daisy will now have all the love, attention and training she deserves!!
