We adopted Banjo, a cunucu from Aruba when he was about 12 weeks old. He was such a sweet puppy but as he got older we noticed he had a lot of anxiety. He would shake, sometimes his teeth would chatter, but most concerning, he attacked our other rescue, a big lab mix, multiple times. Once the attack was so bad she needed 8 stitches in her leg. The attacks seemed random, unpredictable, and not always around food. The last time he bit her ear in front of our kids was the last straw. We contacted Justin for 2 days of in-home training. We learned SO much about how to properly manage both dogs, and take control so they can just relax and be pets. After the 2 days of training, Banjo was still having trouble regulating his body, so we sent him for a week at Justin’s rehab. This gave us extra time to work with our other rescue as well. She didn’t have the same issues of aggression, but she was spoiled and bratty and needed the training as well. I’m happy to report just over 30 days later, both dogs are happy, relaxed, obedient, and understand now that we are in charge. They both peacefully sleep in their crates at night, and Banjo often goes in his voluntarily just to feel safe and relaxed during the day. We are so grateful for Justin and all the time and energy he puts I to his training program. We highly recommend both his 2 day workshop and his boarding program.
