Dogs can develop fear and reactivity without being abused, beaten, or tortured.

More often than is appropriate, people use the abuse excuse to excuse their pet's unwanted behaviors, when in reality that probably isn't the case.

Many rescue dogs have suboptimal histories but most of them haven't been abused.

The bottom line is: that doesn't change who the dog in front of you is. Or what their needs are.

The key is to work with the dog in front of you. Regardless of background, different individuals have different needs.

Using the (least intrusive, minimally aversive) LIMA method is the scientifically proven most effective way to yield these training results.
