Yes, there are moments like these on the picture: Lots of snuggling and love. And the love goes both ways.
But there are also the moments where Sam makes a ruckus at the door, pulls on the leash, or barks loudly at everything on the street. This is when love alone doesn’t help.
We have been looking for a good dog trainer for quite some time. It’s not easy, because it has to be a match for Sam AND for us. I don’t approve some methods. I don’t want any violence. I need somebody who understands Sam and tells me how I can help him. One thing is sure: Sam doesn’t like these situations either, he is full of fear. I want to change my attitude, so Sam can change his behavior as well.
The big problem is, my energy level needs to be high enough to work with Sam. And I don’t know how long the good times will last. But this is something nobody knows, so I might as well start now. Maybe it’s no coincidence that our friend introduced me to a very nice dog trainer on Sunday. I can imagine working with her. Maybe the time is just right to tackle this problem 😀.
I hope this works out for you and for Sam. A good trainer is worth their weight in gold.
Have a fabulous day. ♥

He is beautiful inside and out, but he doesn’t know it yet. Maybe we can boost his ego a little bit!

Living with a pack that loves him and that he can love already helped him so much. He never had this before, and he enjoys it!
