Doggie Do Right Program

The Doggie Do Right Program offers customized training and behavioral management to rescues and owners with dogs who may be experiencing issues and/or behavioral concerns affecting their partnership with humans and other animals.
This service is available on a sliding scale to rescues, sanctuaries, shelters and adopters as our ultimate goal is to help homeless dogs find permanent, “well matched” placement.
We specialize in large and bully breed dogs.

This dog was initially classified as extremely dog aggressive (DA) and proved too difficult for most volunteers to handle when in the presence of other dogs.  Within 20 minutes of work, he was recognizable as dog-selective rather than dog-aggressive and was able to practice his basic training in the setting you see above without responding to the other dogs.

When appropriate,one or more of the canine members of the Doggie DoRight program are also available to help as well for use in socialization training and aggression issues.

This dog was also initially classified as extremely Dog Aggressive and had the same cautions applied for handlers.  Shortly after meeting him, it was evident that his dog-aggressive behavior was motivated by fear of the other dogs, rather than a desire to tangle with them.  In response, his handlers were instructed to monitor his body language for fear or avoidance signals and allow him to position himself behind them if concerned.  By teaching the dog that his handler was a reliable shield against other dogs, we were able to lessen his anxiety and focus his energy into more positive outlets, such as obedience training and proper kennel manners.
