“As a dog competing in very tough Conformation
competition in both AKC and UKC, it was very hard on Rosie to overcome her
aversion of being touched by strangers. Her bad experience with a stranger,
as a puppy, had just traumatized her to the point that she was VERY unhappy
and stressed anytime we were away from home. I just can't say enough
about the Bach program and your expertise in assessing her problems to properly
select the right essences. Frankly, if anyone had told me 2 months ago about
what a change I would see in my dog I would have said "Yank my other
leg awhile!" I'll be honest -- I have long believed in the power
of nature and natural healing but I went into this thinking "Well,
it won't HURT her and you never know." I had tried everything
else and was at my wits end as to how to help poor Rosie overcome her fear
of strangers and strange places and loud noises.
I have to tell you that last week my Rosie, who would
back away from anyone she didn't know approaching her, stood up on her hind
legs and tried to put her paws ON the conformation judge who had stopped
to look at her in the line-up. In fact, she stands like a rock to let
judges look at her teeth and go over her head and front, and only hedges
away when they move to her rear. She is no longer ducking her tail
about loud noises from other show rings, instead, keeping her head up and
her tail up and looking with interest -- not fear. She no longer makes a
dash for her crate the minute you set her on the floor at a show. She
is also approaching people and actually sitting on laps looking around.
I know I am not describing nearly the changes I am
seeing in my own dog but they are there…and others are noticing them
as well! A good friend asked, as Rosie jumped up on her lap by ringside
to watch the comings and goings "What did you do with Rosie and who
is this strange dog!" It is quite simply amazing -- and in the timeframe
of 60 days, amazing isn't even the right word! I just wanted to say, thank
you, from myself and Rosie. If she never makes another lick of progress,
she has come so far now that she can travel in peace and I would be well
satisfied.”
