Let me start with how grateful I am to you Mr. & Mrs. McDonald. Your heart felt caring and knowledge of dogs amazed me. I reached out to you for help in rescuing a dog, not a cute little fluffy or jumpy terrier but a big working breed. As everyone knows puppies find homes fast but those that are a year and over are hard to find homes that will take them and I wanted to save one of these dogs. I adopted one who didn’t get the proper training or socialization skills while they were cute puppies. He had a dominant behavior to overcome along with a few issues you recognized right away and I thank you for that. We then adopted a female boxer who was the opposite. She was timid and afraid of everything. By the time puppy class finished she was a confident obedient Boxer who I was proud to walk on the streets. With the information you shared openly I felt confident we could adopt another male to keep her company and play boxer style with. Now as I watch them play I watch for signs of dominance that may upset my pack. Thanks from my boxer and me for the life time of friendship we will share. Thank you Tim Stevenson
