Over weeks of training and relationship building I was then able to transfer this relationship over to a great family in Rancho Sante Fe where they live happily with one other small dog which Quincy loves. This was a breakthrough and being in a better state of mind, allowed him to learn and me to teach. We walked, we played food games, we engaged in play and over time he began to see me as someone he could rely on and trust. My first goal was to build a relationship with him so he felt comfortable and didn’t view me as just another human that was going to stress him. Yes, he was a biter, but simply from fear and too much pressure. He had zero obedience commands, no structure, and no one he trusted. I truly believe there are no bad dogs, just bad circumstances that produce unwanted behaviors. He had been to seven different homes, and no one (before me) was able to get him to trust and begin building a relationship with him. One in particular is a small white Maltese named Quincy.

So many great success stories still drive my vision and motivate me today.
