| Re: Dog Nearly Bites Friend - Urgent Advice Needed Ayoka,
This person was offered help by some knowledgeable people here---seems everyone speaks highly of Amanda right?? And I am sure there are others here that COULD help.
In thinking back, I actually know of three Rottweilers that were "saved" and went on to become some of the top dogs in their sports which of course meant that they had to be safe to complete their training and compete in their sports.
I also know of several more that lived long happy lives with the right people---and never had a bad incident.
This poor dog never received the chance or training and frankly no one that would know what the story is with this dog has seen him.
I don't know exactly what the dog laws are in Florida but if THIS dog bites someone, the OP is going to be in alot of hot water and the legal fees and lawsuits that could occur will make paying a trainer for help look like buying a pack of gum.
I'm sorry, with the situation what it is and with the help thats been offered by people here, I can't with a clear conscience say to put him down---I can say get him out of the current owners hands and into a the right persons hands and then determine what he is and what you have to work with.
