Peter, as some of you know, was red-zone aggressive towards other dogs - now he is not!
Just today he played "doggie tennis" with me on the same beach where another pack of dogs were sitting with their owners, he ignored them focusing on me his Pack Leader!
Cesar says "we don't get the dogs we want - we get the dogs we need" - So - Why did I need a very aggressive Fox Terrier called Peter Pan in my pack??!
To show me that I needed to change from being just an owner of a large pack of dogs, some with problems, into a Pack Leader owning and sharing my life with balanced, happy dogs! Peter taught me that he was not an aggressive dog, he was not born aggressive - he was an insecure dog with too much anxious, frustrated energy - which led him to act-out aggressively encouraged through lack of structure and leadership - I had a lot of work to do back then!
I truly believe that to do nothing then nothing in our dog's behaviour will change - dogs with problems will go on acting-out.
Some say: " But just last year" ..... or .... "just six months ago Peter was dangerously aggressive to other dogs" - I say: "That was then - this is now, move-on - Peter has!!!" - Peter has moved on thanks to the inspiration I gained from Cesar Millan plus a lot of hard work from me and Peter too, who is successfully rehabilitated living his second chance in life - returning to nature's way as a balanced dog.
For people who stay stuck in the past they not only stop themselves from moving on but they stop others including dogs! = Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes!
I believe every dog is entitled to balance - so if you have a dog with problems then first look to yourself - our dogs are our mirrors - in some way they reflect back at us our own energy. I did, accepted what I saw (that was the hardest part) and changed!.
Everyone has to start somewhere/sometime - Why live in last year....Why not live in today - you can start "your today" at any time?! My personal drive was to give my dogs a balanced life through commitment - being open and honest, willing to learn from past experiences, studying to fill the knowledge gap and rehabilitating Peter!
Much Changed ... SO ... Much Changed - I am who I am today ...not yesterday....training other owners and rehabilitating dogs, I share my journey with my rehabilitated pack, you and your dogs too! To enjoy coaching from me - you just have to ask me for help!
