ABUSED PUPPY WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY

I found Akira on the street in Overtown when he was about 10 weeks old. He had been very neglected. He was abused by children. Whenever he saw a child between the ages of 5 to 10 years old, he would growl and try to hide behind my legs.

He quickly bonded to my husband and I. He was super loving and affectionate. However, he developed a severe separation anxiety coupled with IBS. Every time I would leave the house, he would freak out and have a bowel movement. Just going outside to check the mail was an ordeal, because Akira would freak out, howl and bark. It got so bad that my neighbors in NY tried to evict me from my apartment. When I would return to the house, he was so happy to see me that he would jump on me, putting his paws on my chest.

I like to go to Lincoln Rd and sit at the outdoor cafes. But if I would go inside the restaurant, he would become very upset and feel abandoned.

I used some Chinese Herbs, which cleared up his IBS. But he continued to have severe separation anxiety.

I finally came to Rose when he was 5 years old. I had used other dog trainers, but without success. I was not very confident that she could help me.

She taught me how to walk Akira without having him pull me around. We worked on his separation anxiety too. He no longer jumps on me or other people when I come in the door. I'm able to check the mail without any drama. And my new South Beach neighbors love him because he is very polite and minds his manners.

He recently passed his Canine Good Citizen test. He is a certified therapy dog, who works in my acupuncture clinic.

I would highly recommend Rose as a dog trainer for a variety of troublesome issues.
