[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 51365, member: 84"] Tina Where did you get the dog from? Have you had her since she was a puppy? As well as the trainers, I'd get a complete vet checkup. You never know, there just might be a physical reason she has suddenly turned aggressive. We adopted a tiny pup from the pound a couple of years ago. She'd been neglected and was in pityful shape. When we brought her home the vet didn't think she'd live over 48 hours. And the trip to the vet revealed she'd been used as a "target" dog for dog fighting. She had enough TLC for 5 dogs and we worked our fanny's off with her. But as time progressed she became more and more aggressive. We used socializing techniques, training (what I could find), and it did nothing. I even had her checked out completely by the vet. At first her aggression was only with our other dogs. Understandable given her past. But eventually it progressed to people. When she went to bite my daughter, we had her put down. I never cried so hard, or was so heartbroken. If she hadn't been so abused and neglected as a tiny puppy she'd have made a wonderful dog. [img]:sad:[/img] I really hope the training works. But if it doesn't you should have her put to sleep. Taking her to the pound only risks someone else adopting her and getting hurt. Plus if she shows agression at the pound they'd put her down anyway. Keeping fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
