And on that. I have also helped others understand and train their animals too.



You also need to look at the whole picture when people ask for help. She got the dog at 3 years old. It came with a Boat Load of problems. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHE SHOULD NEVER HAVE ANOTHER DOG OR A CHILD.



I am sure it was HARD for her to seek help, and tell the whole, ugly story of what is going on with this dog. For many reasons, hard to write.



I believe it was YOU that said, on another thread, that not all dogs are good for every home, even good homes.....wasn't it you? So by YOUR own word, this would be a MisMatch, not a bad person, or even a bad pet owner. Just one with a Dog with a Boat Load of Problems.

She has been told she can fix the problem by training but doesn’t want to put in the time so say she gets another dog and it ends up having an issue so then she gets rid of it and there is a big pattern started and continued. Dogs are not throw aways they are living beings with needs and feelings. It would be horrible to sell this dog to someone with these issues unless surrendered to a rescue that will work to fix the dogs issues. We were very helpful before it turned into her just deciding to give up and “sell” the dog. Getting rid of a dog because you are not wanting to put in the time does make you a bad pet owner. I also do not remember saying what you said so I’m not sure it was me. When you take on a dog that is a rescue or has had other owners you have to be prepared for there to be some issues and you have to be prepared to take on those issues if you aren’t then maybe a rescue is not for you. I have 2 that are full on rescues that required lots of time to get them over certain things as well as one that came from a bad breeder that has had to have massive issues helped with.
