was this the one with the little girl who had all the anxiety that her daddy would leave, because he wasn't married to her mother? I felt so bad for her. and it took Brad to re-establish this group of people as a "family" and make the little girl feel secure.
the dog issues were dealt with, but for me, the most important thing was that little girl coming to feel "safe" with her parents' relationship.
great work, Brad.

sorry, that was the previous episode.
this one was great too, especially the "flashy" ending.
Brad, how do you do all that? a helicopter for Ian, and the fire dept. for these 2. I'm constantly amazed at what you can pull off for your clients. they're lucky people to have you at their backs.

Hello, i have a 4 year old westie name Lily. She can be slightly dog aggressive epescially in the house and around her toys, treats and dog food. I find that she does better with smaller dogs or male dogs. There is really only one dog that my parents (my mom especially) trusts at all with Lily inside the house. This dog is a gorgeous 3-4 year old yellow lab named Ben. I think that this is because he is not all over her like more high-strung dog. But that is getting off topic. Our next-door neighbor got a black lab puppy named Manny about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. We knew that Lily would have to get along with this puppy or else it would make havoc whenever we walked past or if they ever got close. We have a screen door in our front porch so my twin sister and I decided to get them used to the idea of being neighbors. We introduced them through that screen many many times. And eventully we trusted them enough to mingle on leash and in our backyard together. They have been best buds ever since. Was this a good way to socialize Lily? Or would this build any bad habits? I dont believe it would and has worked very well for us and any dog appearing at our door. Although she is not perfect i think that she has improved muchly.
Brad, I thank you for your show series and i admire your teaching methods. I trained Lily with the Alpha attitude when we first got her but that is another story for another time. Thank you, Brad.

I hate to say it but you won't get any free advice from Mr Pattison. There are some really good forums out there will lots of knowledgeable people on them.

Dear No Freebies,

I watch your shows a lot and love your dogs. They are well behaved and very cute.I have learn some very valuable tips from the shows.I have a dog(cockapoo)I had many dogs in the past but the training I have with this dog is to me fairly good. I call him a sign language dog because for the first time aside other dogs I do not speak to him just point.He also always looks at me for the next sigh for him to move.Thanks

When I go for a walk with my dog he screams and barks when he sees another dog and wants to go over to see it. He makes so much noise that most people we see just want to keep on walking past us. Should he be muzzled to stop this behaviour?

you shows are total bull shit!! learn from ceasar !
