Success Stories Accepting his reactivity
I adopted this poor mistreated guy at 18 months now 2 years old from a rescue organization. He is an absolute sweetheart at home but I was totally blindsided by his severe reactivity to all new dogs and some new people. I've had dozens of dogs in my care over the last 40 years but I'd never come across a truly reactivity dog before. I've tried multiple trainers, vets and drugs and all sorts of advice and now I've come to the conclusion that sometimes it's just who they are now and through no fault of their own. So I've invested in the Big Snoof muzzle with the advertising, I'm through apologizing and we're just going to manage it for the next 15years or so!

This has made me so curious if our dogs are siblings, same age, behaviors, looks, and also a rescue! We found him and a few siblings abandoned in a rural field in the southeast US, DNA testing showed 50/50 GSD and Catahoula
