Conflict Resolved
by L. R. S. of New York
For years we enjoyed the company of three wonderful dogs. One mongrel (male) and two females, a bull terrier and a pit bull.
In that time, the females romped, ate, and slept together. We called them "the
sisters".
Then our daughter introduced an energetic, good-natured, young male elkhound into our house.
Everything changed.
The bull terrier suddenly started vicious attacks against the pit bull.
Our house became a battle ground. The elkhound left, but the murderous attacks
continued.
We were at our wits end.
Our vet suggested a trainer. The trainer suggested Nedda Wittels.
To say I was skeptical is an understatement.
However, we were desperate. If something wasn't done, our gentle pit bull would either be killed or badly hurt.
My wife had been badly bitten breaking up a fight. Nedda was our last
hope.
Over the phone, Nedda communicated with our dogs through me.
I felt a bit foolish, but was determined to stick with our 45 minute session.
About 30 minutes into Nedda's communication she told the bull terrier to show affection and ask forgiveness of our pit bull. The bull terrier was under the kitchen table (I thought asleep) and the pit bull was in the family room on her cushion.
At Nedda's suggestion, the bull terrier got up, walked past me into the family room, and licked the face of our pit bull.
I was amazed!
Our bull terrier lived 7 months after the incident. The vicious attacks stopped and though we continued to take precautions (never leaving them alone together and feeding them separately), we had no further
incidents.
One may take from our experience what one wishes, but I really think Nedda was the instrument that brought peace into our
home.
