[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an 8-month-old lab/pit/retriever mix who’s an absolute doll 98% of the time but the other 2% she’s a pretty bad resource guarder (e.g. gets possessive of some toys/food and certain places).  We’ve been working with a behaviorist and she’s doing SO much better but we also have a 6-month-old baby and the dog’s guarding is unpredictable enough that we are finally accepting we are going to have to rehome the dog. It’s really hard because as I said she’s such a lover (currently cuddled up asleep in my husband’s lap) and she also has bad anxiety so I’m worried she’ll be sad at a new home. I know, realistically, she’ll do so much better at a quieter home outside the city without kids, but would appreciate hearing anyone else’s positive experiences with rehoming a dog - and if anyone has tips on rehoming a dog with behavioral issues, that’s extra appreciated![/quote]

I hope you don't decide to adopt another animal.   Not to be mean but, honestly animals are work and you can't expect them to be perfect all the time.  Your puppy is only 8 months old.  What has your behaviorist said?  Do they say it is hopeless?[/quote]
