Good for you and Bruno for finding a tool that will help him on the road to recovery. I wish you lots of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26809086046471535.post-39498380260652912942010-12-07T22:02:00.421-08:002010-12-07T22:02:00.421-08:00It just takes time.

The more you find out what works for Bruno and get to know him more, you'll find the answer to your questions. So happy things are working out for you.24 Paws of Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574070591449171093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26809086046471535.post-71218967138304684372010-12-07T10:57:01.561-08:002010-12-07T10:57:01.561-08:00Maybe it's just me - but I think my other comm...Maybe it's just me - but I think my other comment was eaten again - so here we go for round two. Forgive me if it posts twice again?<br /><br />Congrats on the success with the head halter - they're really incredibly wonderful tools with proper introduction and handling.<br /><br />A word of caution - try to abstain from referring to it as a "muzzle lead." It is not a muzzle - he can very easily bite someone in it if he so chooses, it in no way interferes with his ability to open his mouth. Calling it that may also give people a worse impression of him, though if he's fearful, it may not be the worst thing if people keep their distance.<br /><br />And just a point of contention - I don't think there's a difference between aggression and fear aggression. Both are a display of aggression, it can be very difficult to ascertain based solely on said display why the dog is making said display. The point is that by using the term "fear" aggression, you're describing why the dog is making the display. Fear aggression just falls into the larger pool of all aggression. I think *a lot* of aggression is fear/insecurity based, but it looks the same as all other aggression. You would need to compare it to another "type" of aggression for me to agree that yes, it is different and needs to be treated/viewed differently. <br /><br />With all that said, there may be dogs who can have had the same upbringing as he did (or even my Emma) and come out of it without issues (aggression).Sightlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538720022211433419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26809086046471535.post-92221258983370035812010-12-07T10:56:40.634-08:002010-12-07T10:56:40.634-08:00Well done!Well done!A Confessed Pit Bull Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777050986041332779noreply@blogger.com
