If your dog displays aggression once, he's likely to display aggression twice (even if he's "the sweetest dog" out there most of the time. And, let me assure you, if he turns on someone in the general public, the consequence will be far more severe.
People who tolerate viciousness in their small dogs b/c they think it's cute are abundant, and it is NOT adorable to others ( just as someone's "adorable" bratty child is not). Your vetrinarian did not overstep his boundries. |
I always ask myself "Kelly, are you SURE you want to post this on this forum" and again I said yes this time, surely I see now I shouldnt have....I see why so many are run off of this forum, you come here LOOKING for advice and you get torn apart. Thank you for your words of advice on Rylies behavior, first of all, I dont tolerate this behavior, it is the FIRST time ever he has done this, I believe that someone on here said perhaps it was the fact of WHERE he was and perhaps even he remembered that last time he was there, he got poked in the back with a very sharp thing that left him hurting several days....I for one believe that animals are very smart and that they can and do remember things. I want to thank those of you that felt that vet was a bit harsh.....I also want to say that this might be my last post, I dont come on this forum to have my feelings hurt, or have people say ugly things, true, your opinion is your opinion but sometimes that opinion shouldnt be spoken......
