Mrs Moniatis telephoned the centre in a very distraught mood regarding her adult Doberman bitch, Ria.

Mrs Moniatis had decided that it would be a good idea to purchase a male doberman puppy to keep Ria company as her cocker spaniel was ageing.

When the puppy was brought home, to Mrs Moniatis' horror Ria attacked the puppy and constantly stalked it.

Colin Tennant gave her emergency safety advice over the telephone and visited the family home the very next day.

Colin was able to allow the dogs to meet and interact under his control. He imparted further puppy introduction techniques to Mrs Moniatis.

We all kept in close contact over the next few days to monitor events step by step. Mrs Moniatis implemented all of Colin's written programme and the two dogs are now the best of friends.
