CPI in Next Weeks Episode of Steven Seagal: Lawman!

The episode revolves around Steven adding Frankie, a male German Shepherd, to his household.

Frankie was originally imported for a long-term client Steve Ciasulli. It took us over a year to find a dog like Frankie for Steve. Tragically, Steve passed away unexpectedly. Although Steve had Frankie for just under a year before his passing, he had said if dogs could be soul mates Frankie was his!

Frankie has explosive aggression, a “hair trigger” and is very much like a handgun with the hammer cocked back and ready at a moments notice. This is the opposite of what the majority of our clients here at CPI are interested in purchasing. When Steve passed away Frankie was returned to us. There was only one person I could think of who was capable of handling Frankie, and that was Steven Seagal. I made the call to Steven, and he agreed to take Frankie.

We brought Frankie down to Steven’s house in New Orleans. At the time there was ongoing filming being done by A&E both while Steven was on patrol and off. We had three challenges: 1.) acclimate this extremely aggressive dog to Steven in a short period of time 2.) acclimate Frankie (extremely dog aggressive) to Steven’s other German Shepherd “Kar” 3.) and do so with camera men everywhere!

The two dogs working together was as expected, very problematic. They both fed off of each other’s aggression. There was no control. It looked like Great White Sharks in a feeding frenzy! By the end of ten days (second part of the show), it was beginning to come together.
