I have 2 sons, and when their friends came over, the dog would almost freak out. It got worse and worse, no matter how hard we worked with her. It got to the point that I was afraid she would attack someone.

So many people nowdays are absolutely crazy about pets. That's just my opinion, but I've seen first hand what an aggressive dog can do. And, the owners are ALWAYS blamed by some. You did the right thing.

We have a border collie and the opposite problem, he is way too friendly and wants to jump on everyone he meets. <br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-12271629251490401712017-11-09T21:01:04.654-05:002017-11-09T21:01:04.654-05:00I'm so sorry but good for you for admitting it...I'm so sorry but good for you for admitting it wasn't working. It's best for you and Bandit to call it quits before anything happens. When my older son got a puppy two years ago, she was a biter, including drawing blood on our faces, noses etc.. We had a trainer out a few times, because I said that it was our responsibility to train her properly, or else she would be better with a thatfabricfeeling.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207386494389486604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-9533663890190686612017-11-09T18:38:33.727-05:002017-11-09T18:38:33.727-05:00So sorry to hear of this.

Last May, I had to have my German shepherd put to sleep, because she kept attacking some of my other animals. When she attacked my 13-1/2 year old Jack Russel it was the last straw. Everyone kept trying to get me to find another home for her, but I couldn't take a claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-90706046619027648332017-11-09T16:18:22.111-05:002017-11-09T16:18:22.111-05:00We had to do that once, with Ginger, Destructo-Daw...We had to do that once, with Ginger, Destructo-Dawg.

The female was really my dog, and for many years she was a great companion. She was always pretty headstrong, but in her old age, she became aggressive, particularly towards my husband as she tried to protect me. We think her sight was failing and that she got confused especially at night.Jean Etheridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436836542953418485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-67268194880802458872017-11-09T09:38:47.140-05:002017-11-09T09:38:47.140-05:00That would be scar to live with an aggressive dog ...That would be scar to live with an aggressive dog and not know what to expect next.
