Story
Joe is 9 years old. He is an energetic dog who is obsessed with playing fetch. He loves his daily walks: at least once in the morning, and once in the evening. He is very much an outdoors dog. Most of our activities involve hours of hiking and playing at the dog park. And he loves the snow. He is very good with any and all breeds of dogs that we've met at dog parks, visited at friends and families, and those we've dog-sat in the past. Joe can be off-leash and will not run off unless he sees another dog, but he will yield after a few stern verbal commands. We recently had 2 children, both under the age of 2 and Joe hasn't taken it well. He usually takes his aggression out on items in the house but he has recently snapped at our oldest child. We also recently moved so we haven't been able to take him on those long walks that he craves, so his tantrums persist. Unfortunately, this isn't our first nor our last move and he has been extremely unhappy.
