  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Need advice!!

that's the story I am talking about: if it's different than what you posted, then we're not discussing the same story: " I went for his collar and he lunged at her at the same time and started growling and trying to bite her. For a good 5-10 seconds he was really trying to hurt her, I was grabbing him and pushing him back and getting in his face yelling his name (trying to snap him out of it). I finally got through to him and he calmed a bit, I told my girl to leave and put him in the kennel. My heart is breaking 'cause now I have to get rid of my fur baby." Read the FACTS here.

Teodora, if you go back and read the two post numbers I referenced you will see that she said there was a bite. It wasn't in the first post. It's easy to forget to say every detail when you are upset.

You can download photobucket app and upload there and then copy the IMG link here. Sorry to hear you're going thru this. I have no children so it's hard for me to understand. I think him being PTS is sad and unnecessary when he could be rehabilitated with a family without kids or a trainer as season mentioned. It's hard to believe that nobody will take him? Again...I have no human kids and my dog is my kid. It seems like something was missed along the way. Sorry for you and your family and poor Odin. :(

Download the app, it was free for me. Then when you hit reply there are options to add a pic from your photo albums or to take a pic. Super easy.

I'm on it now but every time I try to add it, it says upload failed. It won't upload it.

I would love to see Odin go to one of the qualified trainers that could help with his problems. The fact is as I understand, it is like winning the lotto to get a spot with one. Season and others that are suggesting that, can one of ya'll step up and find someone that could take Odin? Personally, I believe it will be near impossible. Odin can't go back home and he can't go into 90% of the homes out there.

I can see your fear. Here is a pic of my toddler's ear this summer. We were sitting together on the floor and the pup spooked at something and lashed out. I was extremely angry with Sonny but realized my part in it. Fast forward 5 months and lots of training and he is great with Ben. They are still not left alone together though my fear is gone, just for my security at this point. I am not implying Odin should go back to your home or will be safe around kids. I am only sharing because I hope you will see other dogs do this and can be worked with. He "could" have done damage but chose not to. He is not a bad dog, just immature and needed a lot of work. Same with my sisters dog. Her kids needed stitches along with a visitor needing medical treatment. She was rehabilitated also though many, many precautions were and are still taken. Lots of emotions and anger are still fresh and for good reasons. I don't think Odin should go back to your home, just worth looking into a better situation for him. I will stop giving my opinions as I realize they may be more upsetting than helpful for you at this point. I do not mean to in anyway. It is ultimately your decision and I hope you find peace in whatever you choose. Just please take into account that some dogs are not fit for certain homes without proper leadership. It does not mean he is unfixable, just not compatible in your home.
