afternoon, late, is at the heart of an old man, Mr. Rossi, about 60 years accompanied by a beautiful German Shepherd about 1 year. I must say that the reception that Rocky, (the so called dog) gave me was not the friendliest. At first, as I approached the gate, he pointed from head to foot and dissected my every move, then, to seal our new friendship, jumped to his feet, the end of the leash, by striking his jaw to an inch from my jacket. Poor Mr. Rossi had his work cut out, first to try to keep the dog in some way, the other deep in a repeated apology to me, is obviously not necessary. I for my part I just ignore the dog, watching, of course, very carefully. Once inside the center, Rocky, has changed its attitude, being probably intimidated by the myriad smells of other dogs, and stopped being interested in me, starting to smell, and walk almost ground level, showing some concern. Once the dog calmed down and reassured her master, Mr. Jones and I have started making a speech, to understand what good wind had brought him up to me. From the brief discussion is not left out a picture of this type. Mr. Rossi, Rocky bought by an individual about 25 days, the puppy when you arrive home, was sentenced to house arrest, and thus did not have a chance to socialize with other dogs, with people who are not strictly those of family to enrich their experiences, going around, for the city, on the beach, always new places. Today Mr. Rossi, he realized that Rocky is strangely became aggressive with his guests, and of course would like, that his dog turning into a short time (say 15 days) in a perfect gentledog. I tried to explain to my unsuspecting customer, the mistakes made with the dog, starting from the purchase in an age too young, failure to socialize, to the probable lack of a good bite inhibition, due to all of these factors, complicates matters further in a dog of that size and with a tendency to aggression. My solution to the problem of socialization was a restorative, a desensitization and a counter-conditioning, of course, made not only with one or two people, but with a large number of people, in addition to good basic education that would serve to have a better control of the dog at all times. To do this, obviously not enough fortnight, and it required a great job and a great deal of energy and some money from him.
The result? Mr. Rossi, decided that after all his Rocky was not so bad, and if he was aggressive with his guests, in the end did his work, and also could always tie it, before letting people into his house. In short, it took a short interview with myself to see solved all his problems and his dog. In truth, I confess that lack of self-esteem, Indeed, I believe in well-doing my job, but I honestly did not think of going that far!
