* 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.
