* Training / Behavior Modification hasn't resulted in an acceptable change in the
dog; * There is significant risk and / or evidence that
dog is going to seriously injure someone; aggression problems don't automatically mean the
dog will injure someone or is dangerous; I am referring to the idea that even with reasonable precautions, supervision, training and behavior modification, the
dog is still going to get around all of that and hurt someone; * You have made a reasonable effort to work with the
dog and situation; meaning you have PAID a
professional to help you, worked the situation properly and diligently, and you still can't trust the
dog to not hurt itself, another animal or a person; * The
dog is so dangerous you can't place the
dog with someone else; * The owner isn't willing, or is unable, or unqualified, to work with the
dog any further, even with supervised
professional help; some people won't follow instructions, so some of these
dogs would be fine in the hands of someone else, but not the current owner; * Regardless what you
do (behavior modification, training, and / or behavioral medications) nothing has made the
dog manageable, and your
trainer is recommending you consider euthanasia; * Even behavioral medications can't alleviate the problem; I am experienced working with drugs prescribed
by veterinarians and can give you feedback as to how things are going, or when you might wish to consider another drug; * This
dog is too dangerous to work with.
One study
by Lisa McCluskey, a certified
professional dog trainer and certified canine behavior consultant, found that
dogs who attended training were 2.63 times as likely to stay in their adoptive homes as those who didn't receive training.
