Nash’s Rehabilitation Story
Nash’s Rehabilitation Story He came to us because he had no where else to go. When I first met Nash
When it comes to dogs, I’m not really very good at planned parenthood. Like most of the best things in life tend to be, Batuk was unexpected, and helping him with his rehabilitation was incredibly hard. This experience, while difficult, has also been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
Batuk’s strange behaviour lead me to believe he was very sick. So I picked him up, made a sling out of my scarf, and carried him around for the remainder of the day, so I could take him to the clinic the next morning.
Each night Batuk had night terrors multiple times a night. He would scream and run in his sleep, until I would wake him up and soothe him back to sleep. It was like consoling a small child with nightmares. This went on for the first year, and then once a night for the second year, and every other night for the third year. Now it just happens once a month or two if he has a particularly stressful day. I didn’t know it then, but Batuk unfortunately had such a terrible past on the streets, that he developed C-PTSD (canine post traumatic stress disorder).
When Batuk was 3 years old, I reached a wall with his rehabilitation. I was missing something, and he wasn’t making any more progress. I started to work with a few different trainers to address Batuk’s issues. Thanks to a friend at the dog park, I finally found a trainer who taught me the missing keys to Batuk’s rehabilitation. Leadership, trust and consistency.
Do not let any dog trainer tell you that your dog will never change. This is just them telling you that they are not equipped to help you. Look elsewhere.
