Jessica 32 years old. Stay at home mom. Had dogs since the age of 6, but most where older rescues. No real training experience, except what she had observed or learned from me. Very outgoing, animated and open minded. Willing to learn
Rob 31 years old. Works full time, and is building their own home. Had a dog when young. Military back ground,a bit rough around the edges. reserved, but with a good sense of humor. Is not familiar with positive reinforcement training but willing to learn.
E- 8 yrs old. Intelligent boy, but is ADHA (Attention deficit- hyper active) Loves nature, fossils and rocks. Is not a sporty kind of kid. Very kind heart and respects animals. Easy going but can be impatient. Very willing to learn. Was raised up to six years of age with my five dogs, two of which are Jack Russell terriers. One large lab, One Brittany and one senior Yorkie. Needless to say, the household had a very high level of arousal and stress for both dogs and humans. This affected Ethans relationship with dogs and his reluctance to approach them or trust them.
I will get into the subject of children and dogs as we go along.
S- almost 2 yrs. old. Active, bright little girl. Strong willed. Not afraid of animals. Has only been exposed readily to their twelve year old Jack and one year old cat since moving into their new home. She has a whole different out look about dogs than her brother.

Most of this related to separation anxiety. Will also empty when in crate. Leader ship nor confidence ever established. Correction based training used. Will bite if provoked while sleeping or roughly played with.
