My comment about putting down is not misleading if you understand rescue...most rescue's will not take a biter period as they could be sued and if you tell animal control, humane society etc they will put the dog down also. This person posted she might have to give the dog up. This is a big problem and I ended up with 3 yorkies that bite people/children and I had to adopt them myself because our rescue could have been sued if we adopted them out. The humane society would call me as last resort and if I didn't take them then they were going to be put down. Even no kill shelters will put a dog down for biting. |
I'm sorry; I didn't read that she was considering giving the dog away. I must have skipped over that. You're right, a biter will for sure be put down before any other animals. I do have some experience with rescue (not as much as you) as I volunteer at a shelter close to my house for the past year in a half but in general, they get the "good" dogs if you will who just need basic training and obedience.
I highly recommend hiring a professional trainer though if you can't handle it on your own!
