I am very grateful to see others that would be willing to work with dogs first, before such drastic measures are taken. I have to share a bit about my Yorkie. I had some aggression issues with her (although admittedly on a much smaller scale) I got her prompt help from a trainer and while we were working with her (and even now) I am VERY careful about what situations I put her in(yes- ME- what I put her in- she is MY responsibility) For those that think dogs cannot be rehabilitated, I beg to differ. I have a lot of people that knew the "old" Lexie and are in TOTAL shock how much better she is now. At my sons baseball games, people can actually hold her on their laps and she is so much better. I ,of course ,still am very vigilent because with her it was a fear issue. BUT they can be helped. It was a TON of work and patience on my part, but she is my baby and putting her down WILL NEVER be an option unless she has a terminal condition and is suffering horribly. When you bring a pet home, you are making a committment. That committment isn't as long as things are going great or going your way- it is ALWAYS. That means doing everything you can to help them, physically or mentally. That was great of YorkieK9trainer to offer to help. Thank you for making the world a brighter place!!
