Gracie

Would you believe that when I first met this dog, I thought I was going home with my first dog bite? Gracie is a 3 yr old GSD with some pretty intense stranger danger. She previously went through basic obedience and thankfully is crate trained so we had a good foundation to build on. I eventually won her over with patience and persistence (and freeze dried lamb!). We go at Gracie’s speed and we don’t force her into situations. We have been working on introducing her to new people and keeping those interactions calm and positive and she has shown improvement. Yesterday we went for our first walk together without her mom and even walked past several bikers with no reaction! Gracie still has a long road ahead but we’re happy with the progress made so far.
