Whoa!! Slow down! You aren't a failure. You tried something new with Jasper and he showed you a new reaction! Dogs will do that! Changing any behavior is a slow process. Give both yourself and Jasper lots of time, be consistent and work on this as often as you can and you will see success! And I totally agree with Shelteez--Never say your dog hasn't done something, especially something negative. It's a guarentee that they will do it asap!

If growling and snapping = failure, I am in big trouble. I can think of at least three dogs in my yard that at some point in their lives have bit me! My husband has been to the ER with a bite from one of our dogs and trust me, he's a good daddy!

Take a deep breath and try again when you calm down! Good luck!
