History: Fritz was
aggressive towards any people he did not know. He was very
protective of his home and would bark and attack anyone that entered
the house. In addition, he would lunge and charge at anyone on the
street that passed too close or talked directly towards him or his
owners. Skateboards, bikes, & children were just some of the
outside triggers that sent him into an uncontrollable fit of
aggression including barking, pulling, charging and extreme distress
for both Fritz and his owners. Fritz also suffered from fear
aggression with his owners and had bitten them several times when his
owners tried to groom or bathe him. He was extremely fast and
unpredictable. Fritz would get frightened of regular household items
such as vacuums and spray bottles, and these triggers would cause
Fritz to attack without warning giving
his owners extreme anxiety about touching Fritz.

family was led to believe they were alone in the world with this
unique problem but that was not the case and the “experts” that
they had been working with should have known this. We explained how
this has happened to other dogs and that there is hope. Since Fritz
was such a server case, we recommended Ken contact K9 Service Academy
because they are real experts in aggressive dog rehabilitation.
