]]> Comment on PLEASE STOP EUTHANIZING PIT BULLS!! by Tuxedosk9 http://tuxedosk9.com/2011/02/16/please-stop-euthanizing-pit-bulls/#comment-57 Tuxedosk9 Sun, 15 May 2011 12:55:20 +0000 http://tuxedosk9.com/?p=1323#comment-57 In response to your post to my blog, you comments are very concerning to me. Before you make judgement on a specific breed, let's investigate the breeders and the environment in which these dogs of all breeds are bring nurtured and raised. I have worked with over 21 pit bulls at 3-4 weeks of age and they are now in loving homes. I have also worked with Yorkshire Terriers and they have turned into territorial guarders. It is not a SMART decision to euthanize a specific breed without a temper test by a qualified individual. If you want to work to protect the people then a law needs to written to outlaw the puppy mills that are breeded DNA mismatched breeds. For the record this is where the Pit Bull breed was started. It is not the canines fault it is the people that raise fighting dogs and dogs to be aggressive. In response to your post to my blog, you comments are very concerning to me.

Many thanks to Mark for his time, advice and ideas for training/living with a deaf dog. I just can't say enough about the individualized attention we recieved in class and his willingness to help. Mongo has really come out of his shell and is such an affectionate & well mannered pup! I recently adopted Mongo from the shelter and enrolled him in basic obedience class.

The dogs loved it when he arrived on Thursdays for our lesson. They barked their greetings and wagged their tails. He gave me several training strategies to use with Sammie, my "wild" nine month old puppy as he matures. I was amazed after our first lesson when Sammie would do "sit" and "down" on command. Jolie, my eight year old cocker, has always had a fear of strange men, but she soon welcomed Mark into the house and even sat on the couch with him for "hugs and kisses". When I used his suggestions, I was amazed when she willingly went to one of my male friends who had tried for a long time without success to get her to come to him. She also quickly learned the commands Mark was teaching Sammie, and she seemed proud of herself in doing so. We look forward to a "refresher" course in the spring when Sammie is older. Mark proved you can "... teach an old dog (me) new tricks". Mark, thanks for your help. My cocker spaniels and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Mark.

When he arrived we fell in love with him. I enrolled him in an obedience class – the kind of class I had been through many times in the past with other canine family members. You go to a place with a bunch of other dogs and teach your dog to respond to your commands in an environment that is not real life situations with real life distractions. Castle excelled but it was still the same problem at home. People came to our house and Castle would not listen to me. He would jump and get so excited he would start to give “nips” that would frighten many people and made me realize I had no control. The situation became worst when a delivery man kicked Castle out of fear when he jumped on him. All at once Castle had an aggressive attitude toward anyone coming to the door. We were really frightened. We could not handle our dog who we loved. Because Castle is a pitbull , a breed that is so misunderstood I had many worries. We called a dog trainer that had no experience with pitbulls and it was disastrous with potential danger. We knew her method of training was not for us or Castle. A friend recommended Tuxedo telling us how the trainer Mark practiced positive reinforcement training. After the first conversation with Mark I felt confident he could help us. He immediately conveyed a positiveness that put me at ease. He had lots of experience with pitbulls and shared our belief that kind firmness – positive reinforcement- was the best way to get results. Mark trained Castle and me in real life situations, the park, a visit to the vet, and calmed Castles response to people and MY FEAR of Castle encountering people. Marked trained both of us! Mark’s deep love for Canines along with his knowledge and expertise in training make him an awesome choice as a trainer. THANK YOU MARK!!! P.S.

Our Reggie came to us as a scared, unhappy shell of a dog. I thought he'd live under the coffee table for the rest of his life. With Mark's help, we learned how to help Reggie come out of that shell to be the balanced dog he is today. Although he still has some fear, he is able to be in a crowded room now, he greets people at the door normally, he can go for relaxed walks and he even lets strangers pet and pick him up! It's been an absolute transformation. One of the things I told Mark in our last session was just how much I think the training was beneficial for us as well. Having a pet that doesn't know how to love you is hard and Mark gave us the support and encouragement to give Reggie time and training. As a result, Reggie is a gentleman who even knows how to follow some basic commands! Go figure! I'd recommend Mark to anyone with a dog- especially one that is a little afraid of the world. It's worth every dime to see how happy your dog can be! This training has been absolutely invaluable. Our Reggie came to us as a scared, unhappy shell of a dog.
