Guests: Karen Singleton and Christina Saiz

“Franky” came into Karen Singleton ‘s training program as one of our more challenging cases in her 35 years of helping dogs.  Franky was dog aggressive, people aggressive, claustrophobic and had separation anxiety to the point of chewing through, digging under and/or jumping over the fence that was there to protect him and others, from harm.  Karen’s team of trainers and behavior consultants at Singleton's Animal Connection implemented many varied protocols and strategies in an effort to save Franky’s life. Listen in on Saturday 11-3-12 to see if they were a little or a lot successful and what Franky’s life is like today for him and his family.
From Franky’s mom, Christina, “Franky, my 8 year old Labrador retriever had severe anxiety.  We used a combination of training, medication and environmental changes to help him.  The results have been life changing for him and us.  He is a much happier and very safe dog now, when before it seemed almost hopeless.”
