Thanks for you help, We really appriciate it, we will start with the walking, maybe take it slow to be on the safe side  |
For starters your vet should be made aware that the class is advising is not up to the job, a bad trainer makes a bad behavior worse! If you take a dog to a class for growling you cannot be thrown out for showing the behavior the need to help you correct! What a waste of space of a trainer is that? A growling is a warning which says to you I don't want to bite you, really can you stop that... Find out what needs stopping in the human behavior. You need a behaviourist that understands dogs. Many travel the distance, or else study very close the patterns of the growls, keep a diary if you have to. You need to find the reason he does this... Sorry we have gone off topic, here and I should have put this on the other thread...
Walking all the dogs together is you best bet, start this before you all move in so they are acquainted. Some dogs take several separate leash walks before they are comfortable with each other, indoors they might still get at each other... the slower you take thing the sooner you are likely to succeed.
