we thought that we had her listening and stop going after our feet for a long time. so what could make her go back on us that the thing we are not to sure about. did we do something to make her do that. she has never bit anyone the only way she would bit anyone would be if u put med in her ears and she hate that more then anything. if u give her a little while she fine goes back to playing with u like nothing has happen. but she will never go after anyone else or kids she love kids. she like it when other want to pet her. |
That trainer might have been a real trainer but obviously didn't really help you. Keep looking and talk to the service-dog academies for professional trainers with a long history working with people with few dog skills who also have disabilities, so they really have excellent people skills, too. All really good trainers of service dogs know how to assess people's dog-handling abilities fairly quickly and train/coach them in handling dogs despite whatever skills and abilities they might lack. That is the type of trainer you need to use in order to get to where you want to be with your dog.
It is possible that as your dog ages and matures, she could mellow out and accommodate to you but the stronger likelihood is that she will escalate her misbehavior without your getting skilled in some ways to motive and deal with her. I wish I could offer you more but the basics of animal training have all been explained to you many times and it hasn't helped, hon.
You need a really skilled trainer who deals with this kind of problem often.
