Moses chilling out on the cot<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

My wife and I found Moses at a rescue facility and fell in love immediately. The place had him labeled
\nas a stray, roughly one year old, and a rhodesian ridgeback mix. He came home with some sort of
\nrespiratory infection, which we now believe may have masked the issues we were soon to discover.
\nMoses didn’t trust other people. Perhaps that’s putting it lightly. The first visit to our home from
\na friend was quite an eye-opener. After the growling and avoidance escalated into downright “I don’t like you” behavior, we realized we were without the tools necessary to manage our new family member. This was a surprising moment because he had shown nothing but unconditional love to us. After near-attacks upon the neighbors and growling at sweet Grandparents, we had a choice. We chose Sit Means Sit.
\nIt’s been a year now and the journey has not been easy. However, to see our family now is to see a family rehabilitated. It’s difficult to put into words how incredibly patient and caring the folks at our local training facility have been toward Moses, and toward us. Each of the trainers on staff worked individually through his aggression and gave us the tools to help our friends and
\nfamily do the same at home. \"\"<\/a>
\nMoses has become a healthier, happier dog because of their help. We no longer have to worry about inviting people over, and his list of trusted friends is growing every week. There really isn’t enough we can say about Sit Means Sit in terms of our gratitude and development as a family. Perhaps this will say enough: when we had to choose between our love for Moses and a life,
\nthat might have been easier without him; Sit Means Sit made us capable of choosing Moses and keeping
\nhim with confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
