| Re: Dog Nearly Bites Friend - Urgent Advice Needed
POOHBEARSMOM,
Yes, I did give good advice.
I suggested that this dog be re-homed to an EXPERIENCED person that is familiar with the breed and that this dog be taken out of his current DO NOTHING home were he IS a liability and a danger to the public.
The dog was NOT trained and he did not receive what he needed and it really doesn't look like he will in his current home.
Why not give the dog a chance and see if he is trainable in the right hands??
Why do you want him put down so quickly and not removed from were he is a liability?
I have seen "problem" dogs do very well with the RIGHT person in their lives ---IN FACT, I know of such a dog that became national Rottweiler SchH champion for 3 years.
His owner couldn't handle him or train him either and the right person took him to the top!!!
I am tired of people failing these noble animals and then KILLING them.
It's the people not always the dog.
Just so you are CERTAIN of my thoughts, I WOULD NOT GIVE OR RE-HOME THIS DOG TO ANY ONE THAT WOULD TAKE HIM--ONLY TO THE RIGHT PERSON/PEOPLE.
In your experience with Rottweilers, I would like to know exactly why I gave bad advice---I have seen many dogs "brought back" and have helped a few in my time---what about YOU??
