[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 51753, member: 255"] Thanks for all of your advice. You guys are a wealth of knowledge. To answer some of your questions: 1. We bought lillian when she was a puppy, it was her and her brother left. The brother was bouncy and happy and all excited. But of coarse I wanted the shy puppy that was hiding in the corner, and that was lillian. She was my christmas present. We did not socialize her...she was not around other dogs (she is and was our only baby), she was never around people or kids until probably in the past 6 months. 2. We know our vet better than any of our physicians, she is there so much. Between shots, getting fixed, and us taking trips out of town (they board her while we are gone 1-2 times a year), she has been there probably half a dozen times in the past year. He is more than aware that she can be agressive and has some nervous issues. She goes to the bathroom almost immediately when we enter their office (poo and pee)...so embarassing, but they are used to it. She has had many exams, most recently just a month ago when she got fixed. She is very particular about who she trusts at the vets office, so the one girl that she likes usually takes care of her. I am going to call the Vet tomorrow and just see if he has any other suggestions and to tell him about the trainers who we will get in VA. 3. Someone questioned me saying that she bites for no reason. When my sons friends were over, she did just run up to them and bite them. The kids were playing on their own. Now maybe she is seeing that child as a threat since he is in close proximity to my child? I don't know. I won't be a prisioner in my own home, I know that. If the trainers don't give us any hope then we will have to put her down. When we have people over, we do put her in her kennel and she goes bonkers, howling, crying, barking, scratching to get out. Its ridiculous. I am starting to really pray that God will help us in this situation. She is such a part of our family, and it would be heart wrenching to put her down. Thank yall for listening...and for your input. Tina [/QUOTE]
