Oh That sounds as if it was all just waiting to happen .... and it must have taken such a weight off you .

That is so sad

Takes a special person ..and special dogs, for sure!! it's a punishing thing . I had to swallow hard at the warm bloody soup ... * gulp*

This little dog was adopted, bringing her aggression along. Perhaps you thought a new and loving home could make her better? She has since been subjected to several different training scenarios and will be feeding off your anxieties and worries, as well as being upset at being separated from her home territory/lifestyle, which, even if it was not perfect was what she was used to. She has had a LOT of upheavals, and it would be surprising if deep-seated aggression improved during this period. , so, it isn't really a 'failing' of yours. The only 'failing' was offering to take on a very high maintenance dog who may live another 10 years ..and for whom you need to construct a suitable management plan. There have been some very sensible and informed suggestions given ... hopefully, you can find something which will lessen the anxiety and worry for you all.

Oh, bother, my eyes are leaking....

Welcome.... Has your dog had a thorough vet checkup..blood tests etc ? What was her lifestyle like before she came to you ? Has her aggression stayed the same, got less, or increased? Where are you located?

@Troy. This is in the wrong spot

Just realised this is another ancient thread

..and if the pet mince is decent PET mince ..it will have fat, and offal and BONE mixed in ..and should not be cooked, really - as this changes the composition of any bones to indigestible ..and hard - and destroys enzymes. I feed raw pet mince from our butcher - it's lovely fresh minced chicken frames & bits ... I would never cook it & spoil it ...

Scruffy looks good on him

Many years ago a friend's guide dog was euthanased for unexplained and sudden aggression, and was found to have had a brain tumour... he was the sweetest dog ...

This thread is YEARS old ..and the poster only was here that once!
