Darko is special to me, He got a bad set of cards in life. So I put in some extra effort for sure into his program but his owner did alot of work too.
I spent the first six months working with him three times a week for two to three hours. He severly attacked me as I met her the first time in her home. Her owner froze and I stayed still and he stopped before getting skin or me. We managed to sit down at that time seperated and I started a Program for Severe Aggression towards Humans.
The next step was to go with his owner to court to deal with the Marin County hearing , as he was now Certified Potentially Dangerous Animal and I was there to stand up for him and enter him in a program to attemt to rehab him. He has two previous bites one nip and one attack. The attack was at the door of there house and he had gone thru the window next to the door in an aggressive way and then bite a woman quite a few times. The court pictures were a big wake up call for me.
I had completed a temperment test on him and after getting to know him I found him to be very sound in the nerves and very trainable. I put three months of work into him before we re-evaluated him.
Since he is on Probation for three years and can't have another mistake I decided to put some extra time having him in Daycare and Boarding quite a few days. its 18 months later and while I am not done training him, I am so proud of this dog you will never know.
