Michael Vick dog from Oklahoma featured in video

If you haven’t met Alf, you’re missing out. The pit bull terrier is walking the long road to recovery after spending his life at Bad Newz Kennels, the horrific dog fighting ring run by former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Micahel Vick.

Alf could barely stand up or walk straight when he was placed with foster mom Molly Gibb of Arcadia. He was so used to standing in fear, ready to run, that he didn’t have a sense of balance or control of his body. Molly Gibb and trainer Kathy Cascade of Stillwater worked to change that. They used the TellingtonTouch method, also known as TTouch. The method teaches the animal how to keep good balance and not be afraid of various situations. Now Kathy has posted a video on YouTube showing Alf’s recovery process using TTouch.  Check it out and leave a comment!

P.S. We ran a big feature story about Alf in the Sept. 15 edition of The Oklahoman. If you missed it, read it here.
