Libby is a 6 month old yellow lab released from a Service Dog program. Libby was adopted by a middle age couple in Framingham Ma. that had the time and the room in their hearts for a new puppy. Libby has an alert barking problem. This type of barking is activated by surprise or discomfort to a dog that is easily startled. In the begining Libby was barking at just about everything in her new home, including people, dogs walking by, traffic, and especially noises in the distance. To teach Libby to ignore stimulation, she simply needed more socialization and a lot of work remembering to focus on her owners and not everything else in her immediate environment. Now after several weeks of rehabilitation, Libby's barking has just about stopped. Libby is now assured the forever home she deserves.
