Rambo is a 5 year old shih-tzu who I adopted from rescue 3 years ago. He was given up by his original family for biting, then shuffled around a few rescues because of his handling issues. After adopting him I started taking him to a behaviourist for training, where I met a soon to be good friend. As it turns out my friend had heard Rambo’s story and told me that the male in his original home was very rough with him – so we figure this is where he learned to bite. Rambo has come a long way in his 3 years with me. I bring him to a small dog playgroup on a weekly basis where he socializes with other dogs and people. Whenever we meet new people I tell them not to reach down over him and/or pet his head. Better to squat and give him bum rubs. He has bitten me a number of times (attempts at ear cleaning, face trims, etc) and tries to bite his groomer (who is very gentle and takes her time with him). He just does not like being handled.
Rambo said Hello!
Rambo is cautious meeting you because Rambo wonders about everything. Who, what , where and why. Rambo gets turned around sometimes and then that causes the fear to overtake Rambo. Now Rambo feels calm much more. Mom really is so gentle and caring that the jumping around and attacking wasn’t what Mom expected from Rambo. Rambo likes when Mom is happy about Rambo. Yes, Rambo thinks these plans are good so begin because Rambo is relaxing for you. Candy said to Rambo okay Rambo let’s reboot your entire nervous system. Now we get to check and recheck every single system in Rambo‘s body. When all systems are up and running we want to make sure you have the maximum energy flowing throughout every cell in your body. We are sending mega doses of healing to your gum area so whenever Mom brushes your teeth it will keep stimulating the healing energy to heal that area. Now your skin needs a new memory where touch from humans becomes a kind and loving experience. Rambo this will help you trust the groomers and people who need to care for you. Rambo said Rambo is ready, will and happy for all the positive changes transforming Rambo‘s energy. Rambo wants to be the best for the best Mom.
Again, I thank you. Reading your summaries brought a smile to my face and tear to my eye. Rambo and Chrissy are both having a good nap right now. It’s so neat that they each benefitted from the others session too. I’ll keep in touch 🙂
Day later or so, we heard back :
