<\/a>George,<\/strong> unlike Arnie,\u00c2\u00a0always wants to please those few humans he really trusts, but\u00c2\u00a0he has\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0a fearful disposition which he manifests as aggression.\u00c2\u00a0 His world is divided in two \u00e2\u20ac\u201c friends, upon whom his affection should be lavished unsparingly, and enemies who, come what may, must be frightened away.\u00c2\u00a0 The aim with George is to train him to take a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcneutral\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 stance towards at least 85% of his perceived \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcenemy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and to turn to me when he is confronted by anything that makes him anxious \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a concept which I understand behaviourists refer to as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdefaulting to the handler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.\u00c2\u00a0 Although this sounds somewhat technical, the section on learning with George is about my personal experiences and it is not intended to be a training manual.\u00c2\u00a0 Whilst<\/em> I hope it may encourage people with similar problems to persevere, I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t over-emphasise the value of seeking help from a canine behaviourist or a trainer with experience in this field.<\/p>\n
