confidently say that helping my dog overcome her trauma has been has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. She has made me a more patient and empathetic person, and she rewards me every day with joy.
But very soon, she wasn't scared of us. With us, she was kind, affectionate, and, like most dogs, she just wanted to please. In the comfort and safety of our home, she was easy to train and full of love. For the next two and a half years, up until this day, our sole focus has been making Mabel feel safe. We have never stopped training her, with the intention of giving her the perfect mix of discipline and love. While Mabel wasn't typically"aggressive," we worried that she might be. Obviously, we did not want our dog to bite anyone. On the advice of our vet, we put Mabel on 20 milligrams of Prozac, which definitely helped her borderline aggression and her fearfulness.
