dipper, this is NOT good advice. Better to PTS than to REHOME a dog who's issues should have been dealt with last summer! Passing on a problem dog who's aggressive behavior has been reinforced is a disaster waiting to happen.

This dog is a huge liability now. If you will research Ckimba's posts, you will find that good advice fell on deaf ears. Now the dog will pay, or the breed will pay. This behavior can be fixed, but not with this owner, and again, passing on one's problems is at least, if not more irresponsible than not actually driving to a trainer! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

People who know how to deal with a dog like this will rarely take one on, as they generally have their hands full.

It's really a crying shame that Ckimba could not get off her butt and actually drive the 30-40 minutes to any one of the trainers she was referred to nearly a year ago!

This kind of nonsense is uncalled for, and now Ckimba is giving herself an "ultimatum". Good luck with that Ckimba.
