[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has a vet been consulted and has the dog been through extensive training or worked with a behavioralist?

You’d be surprised at what some people consider behavioral issues when they’re lack of training easily repaired by proper training. [/quote]

Not every family has this level of money, time and resources.  Behaviorists don't work 24/7 with an animal at a price point most owners who might want that service can probably afford. They're usually 1-3 1-hour visits a week, and the dog is with the family the rest of the time. If there are children involved, it may not be safe to continue working with an aggressive animal for "extensive training".[/quote]

True but it’s very important to consult with a veterinarian. Some people consider separation anxiety as a medical reason to euthanize since their pets can be destructive. It’s important to have an honest assessment of the situation by a veterinarian. Unprovoked biting is quite different from anxiety. [/quote]

Sure, for non-aggressive behaviors. Separation anxiety isn't aggression, and destroying property isn't the same as harm/risk to human health. [/quote]
