Teaching an old dog "new tricks"

A 12 year old, female, husky mix came to us with a history of dog aggression. A week prior to her training board I began walking Beulah in her EV neighborhood, around the park and dog run, to de-condition her unwanted, defensive behavior. As I have done with many pups and rescues, I integrated Beulah into our pack at Carol's Dog Club for a week of intensive pack therapy which included: pack walks, play therapy, massage and brushing, monitored meals and water bowls, face washing, monitored group sleep and daily training sessions with newly introduced boarders and neighborhood dogs. Beulah handled her week beautifully, moment by moment, with little tension. The next step? Walking with Beulah and her owner to help the pair overcome life long habits of tension in the leash and fear on the walk.
