* 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.
As a
professional Competetive obedience handler and
trainer, I strongly recommend this collar for individuals who need to have control
of their
dogs but do not have arm strength or do not
wish to be pulled around by their
dogs.
