Pluto is an eight month old German Shepherd from strong working dog background. He is the loved pet of a middle aged couple. Pluto's dog experienced male owner has owned five German Shepherd over the course of his life. He had never experienced any of the difficulties they were having with Pluto. Pluto was resisting handling, barking uncontrollably, and exhibiting the first signs of aggression towards humans and other dogs. His male owner has developed some health issues that prevent him from being highly involved in training exercises. Pluto's female owner has no dog experience at all, but by necessity, has become the primary figure in his life. She is working very hard on the material that I give her, and perfecting one command at a time. In addition Pluto is now getting an hour a day of aerobic exercise and enjoys dog daycare twice weekly to play and socialize with other dogs. Pluto is already a calmer must less anxious puppy, I look forward to his second half of training.
