November Pet of the Month: Meet Jake! 🐾
Jake is an almost 6-year-old Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier mix who came to Southeast Animal Behavior & Training in August 2024 for help with several behavior challenges, including aggression toward his housemate Dempsey, generalized anxiety, fear of some unfamiliar people and dogs, and stress in the car.
During his first appointment, Jake was visibly anxious, he trembled, stayed close to his owners, and couldn’t relax enough to enjoy treats. With the guidance of Dr. Kristina Baucom, Jake’s family worked hard on behavior modification exercises and finding the right medication to help ease his anxiety.
Fast forward to his most recent recheck, and Jake’s transformation has been incredible! He now rides calmly in the car, enjoys his treats during visits, gets along with Dempsey, and is overall a much happier, more relaxed pup.
We’re so proud of Jake and his dedicated family for all the progress they’ve made. Way to go, Jake, you’re such a good boy! 💙
