Frannie is staying with Suburban K9 to work on socialization issues with other dogs. She has more progress to make, but so far she is doing great! All of the other dogs in this video love running around the field playing while Frannie trains.

10 year old German Short Hair with Dog Aggression
We are working with Meb on his fear aggression with other dogs. His trainer Maggie has worked to train and calm down Meb’s heightened anxiety around other dogs. Meb and Maggie did a great job braving the humid weather. The Air conditioning and ice cubes afterwards were a welcomed treat!
Dog Fetching Quarter
