Payton has really made a turn around! He is coming when called off lead, going to his place when told and staying perfectly until instructed to get up. Payton's owners have been practicing his training with visitors. In the past this was somewhat stressful and dangerous because Payton would get overstimulated and frequently show aggression. Now he is now getting to the point that when people come to the home he is relaxed and looking for direction from his family! I am very proud of him and his owners for sticking with the program. I feel that the whole household is beginning to understand what he needs to be successful. Payton relishes the undivided attention that he gets each day in his very active household. I firmly believe this was instrumental in his rehabilitation. Payton also gets much more exercise and has more opportunities to just "be a dog" now that his behavior is under control. He can now be trusted to be outside (with supervision) to run around and play in his giant yard. Payton has a few more hurdles to leap before is program is finished, but he is finally becoming a relaxed, confident and friendly dog.
