The dog was taken in by a no-kill shelter and sent to live with a local trainer who uses only positive methods and who has had a ton of success with rehabilitating dogs. After 6 months, he attacked and bit her. He's since been put down.

I'm not saying another trainer might have had different results. But, I'm saying I think there is room to believe that no one method or type of training is perfect.
