First of all Bill Stavers a dog trainer here in Los angeles who gave us tips on how to help Teddy get over his early and very extreme anxieties. Without his tips i'm not sure how we would have gotten by. Secondly, we have our family to thank. They have been so helpful by letting Teddybux come and visit their house when we need to go away for anywhere from a night to an entire week. They make his time away from us one that he can actually enjoy.
Most recently we must thank our dog walking team from Los Angeles dog company. Their team has really done wonders for Teddybux's self esteem. Because of them he is less afraid of people and less stressed out when we leave him alone. We think the routine helps alot as well. He knows that most mornings we will wake him up walk him for 20 minutes and then head off to work. On his favorite days he'll be picked up and taken to one of the local dog park on the others he will spend some time in the afternoon playing with his favorite toy. In between, although we can not be exactly sure, we think he just sleeps. Since this is listed among one of his top 3 favorite things to do, I would say overall he is a pretty happy pup.
So now as we near Teddybux's second birthday we are happy to say that his puppy days are behind us and maybe someday soon we will be able to replace our trusty old couch with one that the arm hasn't been half chewed off.
