Scaredy Dog

Reading some pit bull blogs recently I saw a recommendation for Scaredy Dog. It deals with reactive dogs. I like that term and I think I will like the book. I've read about fear aggression and while that fits Axl, that's not all it is. He is reactive. He reacts to all kinds of crazy things and it's not always fear.  Anyway I ordered the book and got it the other day. I also ordered it's sequel.  I want to use my up coming 2 week vacation to really work with him.  I'm going to be around all day doing some things around the house and I plan on taking a few breaks during the day to work with him.  I think it will be good for everyone. Tonight we saw another dog on our walks and Axl lost his little mind.  It's not as dramatic as he used to be but it's still nuts. He ended up biting Hubby by accident.  Great. So I'm going to work on him during my break to try and see if we can get over this nonsense.  I think he needs a job too.  When we are out walking he needs something to do instead of just walking.  I had been thinking about trying tracking with him, maybe I'll give that a go.  I would be easier if I could just look for medical and healthcare jobsfor him. Maybe, if we work with him enough, he could be a therapy dog. That would be awesome. Anyway, lots of work ahead. Hopefully I can do it well and help Axl.
