My dog was a fear biter, he bit out of fear. If you think we put him down because he was "doing something wrong" you're wrong. We worked with him for about 4 months with a trainer and he just got worse. He would shake uncontrollably when any child came close to him, he was scared to death of them. Why? We don't know. All we knew was that he was getting worse and unpredictable and someone was going to get hurt. Please don't be so quick to judge me when you didn't live with the situation and don't have a clue as to how hard that decision was to make.
Some dogs just fear children. Did you ever think of re-homeing him to
people who had no children of their own? There is a HUGE difference
between fear and aggression. To train him and keep him in the same
enviorment in which he was fearful of in the first place did not give
the dog much of a chance to improve, trainer or no trainer.
To be scared to death of something is no reason to be PTS. IMO |
