Let’s celebrate complicated dogs and the humans that love them
What is a complicated dog? A dog who may overly react (lunge, growl, bark excessively) to other dogs and humans. Even those dogs we love, that have bitten another being.
Jasper is ridiculously smart, has lots of anxious energy, and, as a herder, needs a job. Nose work, and specifically Ann’s classes, were recommended to us as a way for him to focus his energy. We began on Zoom during pandemic lockdown and continued signing up for all the offered classes. Jasper LOVES nose work. He is focused, he has fun, and he is always tired afterward. I can’t recommend Ann’s nose work classes highly enough. She is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and patient–particularly with her clients’ human companions. Watching Jasper solve ever more difficult problems has been a real joy and I’m so glad we found Ann.
