It also seems like you have already made up your mind for your poor pup b/c so much helpful and useful advice has been given to you and you don't seem to want to try, or said you have already tried and failed. Again, I say you have not tried hard enough.

Also you noted that moving to a dog friendly place is not financially possible for you now, then how will you pay for the surgery?

I understand how you can feel attacked by everyone, but when you post a controversial topic such as this, people are going to feel strongly one way or another. It seems you haven't proved to most of us, for me at least (I don't want to speak for anyone other than myself), that you haven't really tried anything to stop this unwanted behavior. When did this start happening, since May or June? Barely over a month? How long did it take for you to potty train, longer than that I would imagine.

Also the fact that you want this thread closed now because it took a wrong turn (almost immediately) just shows how you do not want our help or advice.

Good luck.

(highlighted in pink) were my exact thoughts! Thank you for taking the words out of my head and so eloquently putting them in the thread!
