Meet Ben, a Black Labrador with dog aggression and reactivity issues. Ben was attacked by a Pug (yes you read that correct, a Pug!) at 7 months old and two weeks later he attacked three small dogs on one walk totally unprovoked shocking me as his owner, his puppy class trainer and friends. It was so shocking because up until this time Ben had been socialised well with other dogs and aren't Labradors meant to be one of the friendliest breeds?!

Ben will be 3 years old in January and I have decided to write this blog to tell his story up until now in the hope it may well help others with similar problems. I will also use it as a journal for myself to note positive walks I share with Ben. As well as Ben's story, there will be personal aspects shared around my struggles to come to terms with my aggressive Labrador.

Stay tuned for Ben's story, its been a rollercoaster which I continue to ride........
