I'm having a hard time coping. She was the absolute fucking best. Had her since she was only 8 weeks old and saw her through adulthood. I'm not sure what I'm going to do without my dog now.
Seriously. People are gonna go IN.
This.
Prolly not the most tactful thing to say to someone who just lost a member of their family.
I mean you cant really have a thread about putting a dog down for behave problems and dont list those problemProlly not the most tactful thing to say to someone who just lost a member of their family.
This was my thought, that's a miserable existence for everyone involved.
She was attacked by an unleashed dog (this was the second time this happened) during a walk a while back. It was bad for my dog, at the same time, the owner of the other dog was hitting my dog trying to protect his. Ever since then, she trusted no other person or animal. Essentially became aggressive and a liability. Especially to children.

How old, Id never put my dog down without atleast looking for another home, trainer or rescue foundationShe was attacked by an unleashed dog (this was the second time this happened) during a walk a while back.

Fuck this hurts to read, I'm so sorry for your lossShe was attacked by an unleashed dog (this was the second time this happened) during a walk a while back.

I'm assuming it was due to biting or being aggressive. Going by ERA threads on subject, going to guess a pitbull
I don't. I do know that even dogs with incredibly severe aggression can be rehabilitated, and many major NA cities have organizations that take unwanted animals.
Was she also aggressive in the home to others?She was attacked by an unleashed dog (this was the second time this happened) during a walk a while back.

Pointing this out isn't going to help him at all when he already put his dog down. I had to put my cat down due to behavior issues because she became increasingly neurotic and it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I don't regret it at all, but I miss her like crazy.I don't.

Yes. Her breed was a Boerboel. Look it up if you need to.

If he didn't explore other options then that's his error as an owner.Pointing this out isn't going to help him at all when he already put his dog down.

You would have killed your cat because it wasn't friendly. JesusThat's a sad situation. I know you probably wanted to rebuild the trust between your dog and people again, but when there's children in the house and aggression, obviously things are on a ticking clock and idealism and platitudes only go so far. I'm very sorry it came to this.
I'm currently trying to stop some severe aggression in a cat I adopted late last year and if it weren't just me in the apartment, I may have had to do the same.
I hope your family can rebuild and you can eventually come to terms with this difficult decision.
I'm sure you knew my dog better than I did.If he didn't explore other options then that's his error as an owner.

Do you know what aggression means? It doesn't mean it's not friendly. It means it violently attacks people or other animals.You would have killed your cat because it wasn't friendly. Jesus
Did you explore other options or not? The organization I volunteer for explicitly expects this of any potential owner.
