I talked to the owner of the Pet Store I told you about, and she rescues dogs. Anyway, she said John Jones is THE BEST in the area, and he would do a full evaluation, and specializes with aggressiveness. She said that she had a shepherd once who bit everyone, and turned him over to him, and he turned out to be a great dog.
I can get the number again, or I can even call for you, if you want--just let me know!!

Wow, this sounds like the perfect person to check out Chewy!

First, I want to say, I am very saddened by the situation Chewy is in.

Now, having said that, didn't we go through this whole thing with Amy and Misty and Chewy several months ago, OR, am I confusing her with another member???? How can you post that you are putting down a dog, then say, "yes, we ARE doing it", then, SIKE we aren't, and I am going to call someone else...."


I am wondering if this isn't somewhat made up for excitement value? ?????

Nope. See what happend was Lovemyshiba gave me so trainers names and we decied to call them and talk to them about it before we went and put him down. I was planning on putting him down and at this moment even after taling to the trainers I still am, I'll explain that later. And who is Amy and Misty????? Never heard of them. This is the first time we have gone through this althoguh a couple of motnhs ago my mom said I had to put him down. But it turned otu my parents got a divorce and I was able to keep him as long as he didn't live with Teddy.

Now for wha the trainers said. Auntie G's said that he was to far advanced and that he would just get worse. John Jones said Chewy will have to be locked up and kept on a leash. When people came over he needed to be locked up. And when we were home alone he needed to be at my side on a leash. So, I don't think Chewy will want to live that kind of life. And thats 2 trainers who have said he is to far advanced and one who said he needs to be locked up and kept on a leash, he's dangerouse. So, at this moment, unless something else comes up before friday, we plan on having him pts on Friday. O I also asked him if the police would accept Chewy and he said.

You've gone above and beyond for Chewy. This may be his hope. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

I promised myself that I would not post on this thread again, however, I feel like I need to set the record straight.

Neither Mike nor I have been PMing back and forth with Ashley. I asked Mike to PM her and ask her to let us have him, which he did, and she did not respond until late last night, AFTER all the support for us to take him. Mike read it, and promptly deleted it. We have made our offer and it has been spurned, so, I guess Chewy won't be given a chance to come and live with us, and for that I'm sorry, because I know in my heart that we could make a difference.

How can these people give an accurate evaluation over the phone? I would not take that as credible at all.

Were these phone evaluations or have the behaviorists met Chewy in person?

The trainers did the evaluations over the phone? Good behaviorists don't give advice until they have seen and evaluated the problem with their own eyes. I would consider taking him to see this John Jones guy.

I'm sorry you are so mad at me for this. And I understand becuase utimitly Chewy is the one who's life is going to end, not mine. And no I didn't mean, if I said anywhere, that we were pming each other back and forth. I'm sorry again for making you so angry, I understand your feelings completly.

Its an hour and half drive and $350 dollars to see them so No he has not met him and Chewy is so good in public I don't think he would be leave me Chewy is agressive.

Ash

Ashley, you have NO CLUE!! I have spent TWO nights crying over this. YOU BETTER BELIEVE I AM ANGRY!! You would rather kill your dog than to allow us to take him. And as for saying that you have not been PMing us back and forth that is a bold faced lie. You might check back on page 8 of this thread when you posted while at school when you were in class.

You are confusing me, Ash. First you say:

Ok this is what he said. Chewy is far advanced Agression. He might be able to help him, he has worked miracles. Its $350 and an hour and half drive to visit him. He said that Chewy needs to be kept in a crate and on a leash at my side at all times. We can't allow him to bite anyone so we can't give him opertunities. And yes, if something else comes up before this friday we WILL do it.

Did that explain it better?

Yea I know, when I posted it I didn't think about it that way. But It does sound that way and I will go back and fix it if they want me to? I don't want to give the wrong impression they pmed me adn I pmed then, thats all, we did not talk any more then that, we did not go back and forth nor talk more then that one time. I'm sorry it sounded that way, I did not mean to give the impresion at all and I apoligize to Molly and Mike for it comeing across like that.

Ash

Ok...I'm not sure what is going on now.

Ash, calm yourself...type out a reply in MSWord (or the like), read, read and re-read and then cut and paste it into a post.... tell us EVERY detail so that we may better understand.

With your comment "he does so well in public" I'm beginning to change horses mid-stream... I think that is a ray of hope for him.

That being said, I wonder if he'd do better as a single dog rather than in a pack? Mugsy, what if he doesn't work out/tried to harm one of your dogs? :(
