The Return of Gremlin!

I have been feeling guilty about not posting a new entry in a while. Just busy with work, some travel and family, but I received a nice email today from a family I worked with several years ago, and thought I'd post it here.


"Hi John!

We haven't been in touch for a really long time, but we think of you quite often. Gremlin, who is now almost 5 years old, would not still be with us if it weren't for you and how well you trained *us*. :-)

I think he was a year old when you first came and met him. He was afraid, aggressive, and a big challenge for us. Having people in our home was stressful because we hadn't established good communication with Gremlin.

We think of you often because Gremlin is so different now! We have learned so much from our life with him and he is such a happy guy. We have good communication with him: he listens well, follows commands and is so much more relaxed knowing where he fits into the family. He *loves* house guest and parties ... and friends who had encouraged us to get rid of him are now some of his best human friends.

Not every day is perfect, but we continue to learn that the calmer we are the calmer and more safe he feels. Max and Gremlin are inseparable as well. They watch out for each other, wrestle, play. It's so fun!



I've attached some very recent pictures. (One from our trip to the vet today.)






Thanks again. You have changed our lives and perspective on life in general.

We are forever grateful,

Heather, David, Max , & Gremlin"
