Cudda & Theo, Chihuahua Mixes, Halifax, MA
Cudda and Theo’s owners contacted me because they adopted two rescues within a few weeks of each other and behaviors were starting to reveal themselves.
Cudda still had housebreaking issues at the age of 6 (which is most likely why he was found as a stray). Getting his owners to realize a crate was their allie took a little persuading, but once they started to see results, the guilt they originally felt seemed to fade quickly. Establishing a housebreaking plan was also put in place.
Theo was just a happy go lucky kind of guy who didn’t see why chewing everything was such a big problem.
Redirecting these dogs was the easy part. Doing it while chasing after two toddlers was the balancing act. But when getting things under control is your priority, it didn’t surprise me that this family got it done.
Cudda and Theo are doing great and are happy they didn’t receive their eviction notices in the mail!
