[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you are very casual about this. Is there a shelter that will take him? Really? You are looking for a place to dump your 10 year old family member?

I would first do some very aggressive training with the dog. Find a trainer who will tell you honestly if he or she thinks the situation can be rectified. If it can, put in the training time and hopefully you will see a wonderful friendship bloom between your child and your dog.

If it can't, yes, the dog needs a new home. Please don't dump him in a shelter. They will likely pts and his last days/hours/minutes on this earth will be spent scared and alone. Just breaks my heart. [/quote]

Do you have children? Are you willing to risk a terrible bite? Because frankly, [b]even dogs that are patient and mellow most of the time can occasionally snap and this dog is giving clear signs that he might. [/b] Do you know how challenging it is to keep a dog separate from kids in your own home? OP is clearly struggling with this- she is not taking this lightly.  I am horrified by the folks out there who advocate putting a dog's needs before the safety of your kids. OP if you do not feel it is safe, I would aggressively start looking for a new home.  There are several animal re-homing sites on facebook, hunt around for the right one and explain what kind of home your dog needs (free of kids).[/quote]

I'm a PP. The posters that are saying this are leaving out the second part of the sentence: "...IF you don't train the dog and baby to get along." The dog is not the only one who has to change, and OP is clearly too lazy to do it herself and too cheap to hire a trainer ("out of the question"). I really feel for that dog, and hope he finds a much better home than you are willing to provide, OP.[/quote]
