I would love to help, unfortunatly I live near Rochester & my schedule is quite busy as far as traveling goes but you can pm me or e-mail me any questions I will do my best. I was going to reply but I saw that I agreed with everyone else, so I would of had the same reply LOL. Anyways I have helped train dogs for obedience, agility & behavior modification for 15+ years I was also a vet tech for about 6 yrs.



Thanks to all of you, Nicky is a sucsess! He hasn't barked ( much ) and defintly hasn't bitten anyone for about two consecutive weeks. I think my problem is solved
I am glad he is making progress but I doubt the problem is solved. You still need to practice this everyday & everytime he mis-behaves. Dogs just like people or anything else tend to forget things they dont practice regularly.
I would socialize him as much as possible bring EVERYWHERE possible with you just take caution, have complete control over him & alos warn others about his behavior.

AND DO NOT FORGET one of the biggest factors here, which is to PRAISE him everytime he behaves properly. Give him lots of yummy special treats & attention.
