Good evening! I posted a few times here, frustrated with my attempts to train or find help training my 2 year old adopted Akita. This is a great community and I managed to find what we needed thanks in most part to the advice and encouragement I received here. I just wanted to thank you all, especially Gsdslave and 6JRTs, for taking the time to listen and respond without judging. It's difficult adopting a dog and the advice I got and support when I was feeling bad were invaluable. I am sure I will be back for advice and hopefully one day able to give support and advice. But I just wanted to thank this community for helping our family adjust and giving Sakura the home she deserves. I am indebted to you all, thank you. It is hard to find people who understand Akitas or want to live with them. Best, Jessica & Sakura
