Ever since we got him as a puppy, Jake has hated the vet. He needs to be muzzled for everyone's safety while he is there, and today (he was there all day) they didn't even take him out to pee b/c he behaves so aggressively/scared there.
He seriously doesn't like people touching him (strangers, anyway) and the vet is just about his worst nightmare.
Is there any hope for him? Andrew and I have talked about switching vets b/c they have really labelled him as an aggressive dog--every time I go in there they are making a big deal about "is he good with the kids" "has he attacked anyone" etc. HE IS FINE WITH US AND PEOPLE HE KNOWS!!! Arghhhhh!
Any advice on making trips to the vet less stressful for everyone?
