Expertise:  I have spent my entire professional life (25+ years) rehabilitating the behavior of the domestic dog and I can answer any question regarding any behavior problem in any breed dog. I do not make ANY MONEY from participating on this site. I am a STRONG advocate for the domestic dog. If you are a caring, empathic, committed owner and need advice, I'm here for you. If you do not fall into that category, you will get my HONEST RESPONSE (and you may not like it) or I will simply send your question to the pool. THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES for serious behavioral issues; not only is it unprofessional to offer same, it is also unethical. IF I ASK YOU SUBSEQUENT QUESTIONS, I EXPECT YOU TO INTERACT WITH ME. More information equals more credible answers and a more successful outcome. If I ask you to DO YOUR HOMEWORK and journal your dog's behavior, do it. I normally spend at least TWO HOURS (initial consultation) in a client's home, during which time I evaluate the dog for temperament and do an in depth interview of all humans in the household. I CANNOT do this on this site or in any other text venue, so I MIGHT ask QUESTIONS and expect interaction. If you want ANSWERS THAT WORK, participate in any way I request. If you can't be bothered spending the time doing your own work, look for your quick answer elsewhere, and good luck with that.
