[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rescue is the way to go!!!![/quote] Every rescue dog I know is crazy, including my own. I can deal with it, but it's not easy. We will never be able to go to a dog park. My dog will never retrieve a stick or ball. My dog can never be let outside without a leash or he will run away. It's fine, we love him. But most people should not get a rescue dog unless they are up for the challenges. [/quote] You clearly didn't hire a trainer for your dog, which most rescues recommended. That's your fault. Not the dogs. All of those problems can be fixed by a trainer, they're not difficult to fix. [/quote] I love rescues, and have only ever had rescue dogs, but it is definitely not true that every behavioral problem can be corrected through training. Brain plasticity and the neural pathways that are carved in the first months of a dog’s life can have permanent effects.[/quote] Yeah, but rescuesc are usually astute to the issues that dogs they're trying to rehome have. If a dog is like this, they recommend training. If a dog has really deep down and severe issues, they will recommend that this dog go to a specific owner that has the time and patience to work with it. The issues the pp described are not incurable. [/quote]
