So there is a dog, Paxton, at the local shelter who is dog aggressive and attacked another dog because Paxton's run wasn't latched properly and he got out, attacked a dog that was being walked by a volunteer. The dog barely survived and Paxton is in "lockdown" so that they can evaluate him and work on his problems. The shelter is trying to find another rescue or sanctuary that will take him. Oh, and the shelter is a no-kill shelter so that is good for Paxton right now.
I have decided that I would like to volunteer at the shelter and try to help this poor guy out as far as working with him one-on-one a couple days a week. Even if it is just to help Paxton and enrich his life while he is in solitary. They are thinking that he's being over stimulated with all of the dogs around and that shelter life is making him nuts.
I was just looking for some advice on how to help Paxton? Any training tips? Or other tips will be helpful.
