My experience with integrating my large explosive/ emotionally reactive Belgian Shepard rescue for the last year into our home with our two rescue cats (small breeds) has been a challenge training him and walking him regularly helping him understand that reactive behavior is not going to get him results he wants, so with positive reinforcement and lots of practice I've seen him go from overwhelmed cannot contain his excitement to being a loving calm respectful dog around two very skittish cats. I'm so proud of him for trusting the process and listening to my commands we worked hard and got the results we wished for. Walking is always a bigger challenge with different elements but we stay positive and he just needed someone to show him that. It's inspired me to want to offer my extra time and effort to help people who can't always keep up with taking that extra time needed for an animal they care for.
