George is here!

George the old English Sheepdog is here for a week before he moves onto Mark and jaymies for a further stay. A lovely dog he is only young and shows the classic "teenager" attitude with a little bit of stubbornness and some expected attitude; but overall a lovely dog!

This is another dog that needs clear leadership to flourish. He is not mentally strong enough to be a leader or alpha and so if he feels he has to take this position it will stress him and cause issues of aggression and dominance. The dog will start to try to frighten people or dogs away by acts of aggression so he doesn't have to deal with any further contact.

Watch some dogs as they walk, going ballistic when they see any other dog, that is what they are telling you! I'm frightened and I'm expected to look after these weak humans but I don't want to! If you step up and show your dog that you are in charge the relief from them is obvious and you can see them de-stress in front of your eyes!
