Who: Finn is a 6 year old, male terrier cross. A total cutie and bursting with character. Challenge: Finn was a rescue and came with some baggage, not of his own making. He had lots of issues but the two top priorities where stopping from snapping at people (including his adoring owner Withe) and stopping him “losing his mind” when the doorbell rang. Solution: For his air snapping, this was all anxiety based, so we put him on a program of obedience and trick training to build up his confidence and ability to tolerate people in his personal space. It also gave him and his owner a new way to bond and work together. This would also help Withe to manage Finn in high-risk situations – i.e. he now had lots of commands to get Finn focused on him rather than the person Finn was worried about. For the barking at the door, we taught Finn to go to his spot by the door and wait patiently for the person to come through the door. Finn will never be cuddling random strangers, but With and himself now have a much better way of managing their daily life together, ensuring it is way more harmonious and stress-free.
