Smile I'm New ^_^

Hi, I'm new here and i have a Boxer/Lab/Pitt mix named Angel.

Here she is!



When i first got her she was 7 months old.She had fear agression and seperation anxiety, she would growl and bark viciously at anyone who came into the house. I was walking her one day, it was her first day out on a leash ever, and we ran into a lady who commented on how pretty angel was and on how good she was being once i told her it was her first time out on the leash. Turns out the lady was a dog trainer and she quickly became my friend and we got angel through her fear agression and she's a compleatly different dog from when i first got her about 6 months ago. She's perfect and loves it when we have company now and i'm even comfortable enough to let her be around kids, on leash of course, shes still a big puppy lol.

She turns one year old sometime this month, i don't know what day she was born so i'll just have to pick one.

Durring the process of getting her over her issues she actually helped me through some of my own. I'm very shy and nervious but i coudln't be that way anymore of else she would pick signals up from me which would encourage her to be affraid of whatever made me nervious. So i had to step out of my comfort zone and shes really helped me be more confident and comfortable in situations that would have usually made me very uncomfortable.

She's my baby and i wouldn't trade her for the world. ^_^

I love great stories- I should ask your for tips- I have 4 dogs and the one is a holy terror- been thru 3 trainers they all kind of gave up- he is not a mean dog in his heart but he was in an abusive situation and it will be 5 yrs this Valentines day I have him and he still afraid of people and dogs-

He adores me and lets me do anything I need to but forget someone else. I am not a nervous type and I know that they pick up on signals but he is such such an odd case........one in a blue someone else can pet him but that is rare and I dont have any people here to help me work thru the greet issues at the door........

I guess I wrote too much LOLOLOL

WELCOME
