Find her another home. I'm serious. You haven't done anything wrong, she hasn't done anything wrong. My feelings are that she has more energy than you can handle, and both of you would probably be better off if she went to someone who knows how to handle a dog like this. I'd suggest that you try to find a trainer or vet to take her in.
I just don't know what else can be done in that kind of situation. Best of luck to you, though! |
I agree totally with Megan. I had a LARGE german shepherd years ago....by "having" it, I mean that my sister told me about this GS "puppy" that needed a home while I was at my mom's. At the time, my ex-dh and I lived in a small rental and there was virtually no backyard. I told my sister I wish I could take it, but I couldn't. My mom piped up with "Well, you could keep it here until you guys find a bigger place with a yard"....my mom had a small GS female at the time. So I said "sure"....so basically, it lived with my Mom... the dog turned out to be about 30" tall and very very big!
Anyway, my mom started saying that "my" dog would run along the fenceline all night long (the back of her house was on a busy main street), and "made" her dog do the same thing, and her dog was rapidly losing weight. That was one issue. So my mom started putting "my" dog into the garage at night so they couldn't do that...well, the dog ate a hole in the garage wall and got out anyway......
My mom found a man who had wanted a GS for a long time, he had lots of land for it to run on and he just adored the dog and he took it with him everywhere......so, it's not b/c it's a bad dog, it's just not right for you.
I honestly can understand what you've been going thru though, I had a parrot who was as destructive, and even though I never answered my front door to him standing there, it wouldn't have surprised me a bit
. Good luck to you!
