Most dog owners would be surprised to learn that the great majority of dogs assumed to be "aggressive" are actually displaying confusion, learned reactiveness, or fearfulness. A formal program of focus-based behavioral modification and incremental obedience skills for these dogs and their owner can be of significant benefit in addressing and resolving these behaviors.

Dogs with aggression/behavioral problems are not looking at the world the way a normal dog does. They are unable to tell the difference between what they see as a possible threat and a real threat, or are unable to react appropriately. Behavior modification means changing the problem behavior through changing the dog's attitude. Serious aggression or behavior problems should be addressed by someone with proper training to deal with these issues.

As every dog is different, this is the only way you will know for sure what your particular dog is reacting to.

Let me tell you a little bit about me. Of the many tragedies I have faced, one specific course of events helped to shape develop certain skills that are the core reason why all of my products are unique and extremely effective at what they aim to do. This course of events was a 16 year stretch of going in an d out of foster cares due to mental issues my mother was having.

Pad wounds are slow healers. The healing process is hampered every time the dog walks on the foot (the walking constantly pulls on the healing edges, and this delays healing). The pads can easily get infected, as there is contact between blood and the surface where your pet walks. These wounds are best treated by a veterinarian. Your veterinarian can clean the wound, bandage it with antibiotic ointment, give oral antibiotics, and rebandage the wound every three or four days until it is healed.
