Love to all, Shawna, Sprocket and now Slicks!
Meet Slicks!
Sprocket and I adopted Slicks from Victoria Human Society Just after the new year (right when I broke my wrist - very bad timing) Slicks is from northern Manitoba, I am her 6th home! WOW, she has been through so much in her 10 short months. She came to me with bad food aggression, leash reactivity, and fear-related issues (very shy introductions with people) so far- we have improved her food aggression - if all dogs are sitting beside her I can give her a treat! her leash reactivity is still happening but we are working very hard on fixing that. I will get some videos posted soon to see her training progress. check out our Blog on Slicks and how I have been training and dealing with her issues.
