Have you ever seen a dog like what Dekka described??? I have. He wasn't as far gone as that one, but he was pretty **** scary. Until you see one, it's really hard to fathom just how dangerous a dangerous dog is and just how impossible it can be to rehab some of them.
We're not talking about a fear driven dog that can be counterconditioned. We're not talking about resource guarding that's manageable and trainable. We're not talking an under exercised, under socialized dog that can be given a good run and a trip out on the town with loads of treats.
:rofl1::rofl1:
Hey dekka, you clearly weren't a good enough trainer.
LD ~ even a place like dogtown has limited resources. Rescues have to turn away or put to sleep dogs like that. The resources it would take to keep that dog alive are better spent saving dozens that
can be rehabbed and adopted out that are being euthed simply because there's no room for them.
