One of my final challenges with Teddy was to expose him to what would have previously made him react in an aggressive manner.  The only difference this time, is that he'll not only be off-leash, but muzzle-free.

Over the last two weeks, I have been very careful to make sure that there is a clear understanding between Teddy and I-- that we have both developed trust. 

The gentleman and puppy in the video were strangers to both Teddy and I. This is where the challenge came, as one of Teddy's "issues" is with excited, high energy dogs.

For those of you who know Teddy and his past, I would like this video to be a reminder that dogs can be rehabilitated regardless of their past. Living in the moment is very powerful.

Teddy's family understands that they have some work ahead of them; however, they are now equipped with the knowledge to help Teddy move forward, in the direction of love and balance. They welcome this new journey they are about to experience with Teddy. He is an amazing dog. 

And let's not forget that the true magic came from The Pack. They were instrumental in helping Teddy move forward in such a short period of time. Here are some images of Teddy's stay with us.
