[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but...How do you put the dog down? I mean without taking him behind the woodshed and shooting him.  Do you take him to a vet appt and just say...let's put him down and they give him a lethal injection? or who does the putting down? Thanks[/quote]

Yes, a vet does it. It can be a vet in an office or someone who comes to your home. They give one injection to put your dog under (asleep) and then one to stop the heart. We had it done at home and it was very peaceful, but I've heard sometimes there are involuntary body movements/noise that upset people so just FYI.

It doesn't always happen this way at shelters, BTW. I don't know what's done locally but there are still parts of the country where shelter dogs are gassed. Another reason to do it yourself instead of letting your dog stress in a shelter first.

Not all vets will euthanize for behavioral reasons. OPs vet should hopefully have a handle on whether this dog is trainable and what the kindest choice is.[/quote]
