Breed and intake details are owner-reported. Age refers to the intake date.
This page is built from the sessions themselves — what was filmed and what was said in it. It carries no intake notes and no owner interview, because none were recorded for Bandit. Every quote below links to the second it was said, so you can check it.

Recognize your own dog in this?
Most people who call us have already been told their dog is a lost cause, or that they should manage it and hope. We train dogs in Angier, Raleigh and across the Triangle, and we take the serious aggression and reactivity cases that other programs turn down.
How it works: tell us what your dog is actually doing. We tell you honestly whether we can help, including when the answer is no. If we can, you leave with a plan and a start date.
What you get back is a dog whose world gets bigger instead of smaller.
