[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 51579, member: 2389"] When the trainer's come they will explain to you what you are doing that makes your dog think it is acceptable behavior. Dogs react to our actions. They will teach you the proper response for her acts of aggression. I would work with the trainer. As a last resort I would find a no kill shelter that will place her in a home to work with her so that she can be placed in another home. Most aggresive dogs I work with have owners that unknowingly reward the dog for it's behavior. I don't have the problems with them that the owner's have because I establish the pack order in the beginning. Most of these behaviors start when the dog thinks he is higher in the pack than another family member, and most can be changed back simply by reestablishing the order. [/QUOTE]
