Saw Dr Mann today having dealt with an adopted greyt/lab/retriever mix on Easter Sunday. She began demonstrating true fear- aggression. I have owned 24 K-9's, trained 3 into service for myself, chairbound 18 yrs now, awa 14 for the men & women returning from overseas w/permanent disabilities. I'm not certified, I consider it a gift from God & as I will be 70 y/old in a matter of days now, & given the fact both myself awa a personal trainer are in agreement re: her potential, failure is not an option. I'm determined to love awa train her to her potential as I see how bright she is, most likely abandoned by a death, picked up on the streets and in a shelter for 11 days. She was kenneled w/a beautiful pitty, I was assured that she got along with other k9's-.& I spent 45 mins alone assessing her & went fwd w/adoption.
Once home, inside, loving, would sit, paw or hi five, down, roll over, off, but clearly not leash trained, so either she had a run or fenced yard area. She allowed me to pull up on her, held me steady and was loving & playful. Underweight, malnourished, now a healthy weight.
Not afraid of a lg. specialized power chair, a bonus as well. Open the door and she's a maniac! Barking at nothing, highly reactive to bird's bugs, geico's and thunderphobic. Valium, benydryl, Tramadol... no more a remedy than the man in the moon! First time I ever had a personal trainer, 7 sessions later, following her direction vigilantly. Progress in training, not@ home. By now I am becoming stressed and sought out this vet.
I found his staff friendly, warm and welcoming as did she. Dr Mann spent a lot of time with me and my CNA. Found my dog to be healthy and she responded well to him. THIS IN AND OF ITSELF, IS A PRIORITY for me as her mistress. Having discussed behavioural matters, he did ask if I had considered this was not the right dog for me
I'm grateful for my choice in this new vet, found him to be compassionate and caring. He prescribed medication for her & told me to call him asap if I saw any side effects other than promising.
I would highly recommend this establishment, the Dr and staff. Now I pray we have found a remedy for my precious K-9. It's clean and impressive, another priority all should consider.
I am D. Corrieri and proud to be giving this review, which btw, is not common for me. I'm going to ask for prayer awa possitive energy to come our way! Read Less
