Our sweet girl Emmie has now been placed into a new foster home. Our Intake Director, Michele, has taken Emmie into her pack to work with her on socialization skills. Emmie doesn’t really know how to ’speak’ dog. Currently, upon coming into contact with other dogs on walks, she is not able to communicate the anxiety she feels around them. Her outlet now is to bark at them and sometimes acts as she will attack- she has fear aggression. Our goal is to work with her until she gets to the point where she is not nervous or scared around other dogs. In time she will learn how to behave with them and maybe even learn to enjoy their company! Luckily, Emmie is both smart and loyal to humans. Her intelligence and willingness to please will surely make her a great & successful student. We’ll have more updates on her progress soon!
