Ford VS Lincoln: A Tale of 2 Enemies
The following is a true story. I t is a story of two dogs. One Doberman named Lincoln and a Shepard named Ford. Both neutered males, both with a hatred for the other. But sometimes, with a little patience and a lot of time and understanding...
Meet Ford: a young and playful guy, Ford has his friends and can be the life of the party . But when Ford doesn't like someone...Watch out!
And Lincoln: He is considered a mature male who in his younger years had his fair share of tiffs with some other dogs but has since mellowed out.
Now Ford and Lincoln have never been buddies. On pack walks they have their share of choice words and snapping, Through fences and suite doors they will let each other know about their apparent dislike.
Well I am happy to say that today March 8 2013 we finally got the two boys in the same play yard together. The result.... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!
They completely ignored each other!!! YES!!!!
And that is a huge thing. You see you should not expect your dog to love EVERY dog they meet. It is kind of unreasonable when you think about it. I mean come on, we as humans don't like every person we meet so why should our dogs. But it is not unreasonable to ask that the dogs be able to exist in the same space, without fighting and reacting. Today we accomplished just that. BRAVO FORD AND LINCOLN!!!!

Thank you for everything!!!
Dear Tracy!!!
Thank you very very VERY much for your "magical" help.
SeeSee is already re-acting very happily to the change we have made.
I CANNOT believe this is the same dog!!!! You are right, she is so relaxed now to be a follower, rather than a "boss" in the house!
Please thank your husband for me, because of his praising you, how amazing you are with dogs, my SeeSee and DeeDee are in the much happier lives!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Love youuuuuu!!!!!!

Dear Tracy,
I know I have told you but I don’t think I could ever express enough of my appreciation what you have done for Tonka and me.Tonka has a big heart and just loves to be around people and dogs. But with his excitable personality he really does give of the wrong signals. So what I did before I met you was kept Tonka away from those situations that made me feel uncomfortable. I just didn’t want people to be afraid of Tonka or fear that Tonka may hurt them or their dog. I know Tonka won’t hurt anyone but his actions don’t show that to others. But now I know that was wrong. You showed me that what I was doing was actually making the situation worse. Tonka really needs to be around other dogs within a controlled setting.
But then we met you; and you took the time to work with both Tonka and I which I greatly appreciate. I noticed right away that you have a fantastic way around dogs, and it comes so natural to you. Tonka and I are so lucky to have met you.
Again, we sincerely thank you and hope your business will continue for many, many years because it’s so greatly need.
Friends Always,
Lynn & Tonka
