Some Progress
Finally a few months ago we found a local Dog Trainer that is truly experienced with aggressive dogs. He has been great in working with our Porty. We are seeing improvements, slowly but we are happy that things are moving in a positive direction. Our Trainer also takes both our dogs for two days a week in his Doggy Daycare and this helps to continue his training. We have had to resort to using the muzzle in our home so that we can manage answering the door without being bitten. Although it is removed at bedtime, when we are gone from the house (without dogs) and in the evening when no one is likely to come to the door. Having the muzzle on allows us to be assertive and in charge of the situation without the concern of being bit. We are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with our 5 year old.
