Jennifer Skeldon Webboard User Reg: 07-08-2008 Posts: 229 Loc: Oregon Offline	Hi there! I'm so glad to find a dog forum that holds the same beliefs about raising/training a dog that I do! My 9yr old GSD/husky Kota was small dog/cat/squirrel/bird aggressive when I first got him 3 yrs ago. Being my first dog, I coddled him, and praised him, and told him it was okay to bark and growl and snarl at other dogs. WOW was I wrong. A friend suggested positive-only training. Nope, didn't work, it just distracted him instead of correcting the problem. After reading about pack behavior, I decided he needed physical corrections (quick touch then verbal corrections) Three years later (today) he is an ANGEL! He is a certified therapy dog, and makes developmentally disabled children SO happy when he comes in for weekly sessions. He's helped me re-rehabilitate many foster dogs and is my little pride and joy. That's probably enough, although I could go on forever Here's our last snow storm in March http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/2691207490_ab18341886.jpg and here he is with our latest foster dog (Isis a food/toy aggressive lab/gsd) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3244/2691198882_c3b2bc63be.jpg

Natalya: It's great fostering, but it's so hard to give the dogs up. Once I see how far they come in such a short time period, I want to adopt all of them...I await the day I can buy some land and own multiple dogs. Btw, I love the doggie xmass tree
