"I have talked about this dog before.. & why would they take it there when they don't even take it to a vets... & its more then a behaviour problem... this dog is mentaly messed up... she super stupid for a dog. She doesn't know her name, knows no tricks or commands (the father did try when they first found her) She runs into things. She sticks her nose in the water dish & sniffes the water & then choaks on it. She doesn't know how to clean her self... she pees on the floor & then roll in it.. oh & she pees on the mothers bed & the livingroom's couch & no one will clean it up, so I don't sit on the couch (I mostly hide in my room)... & no matter hoe many times I tell the dog to get away from me, push her away, she keeps coming back... I don't trust that dog at all, all I need is to touch her or let her stay too close to me & then I have fingers missing..."

Well I dont know if that means she has mental problems.. A lot of that just sounds like she was never trained or socialized properly. And dogs dont clean themselves like cats.. BTW what breed is it? The peeing thing could be lack of training, and/or territorial. And it seems to me that the poor dog has been abused/neglected its whole life and just wants some attention/love from you, which is why it keeps following you around.

Its hard for me to read these posts about you feeling so hateful toward this dog. Its a belief of mine that nothing a dog (or cat etc) does, is its fault. Dogs are bred by humans, (or not fixed by humans..) and therefore it is our responsibility to take care of them. If a dog is not socialized properly it will develop serious behavioral problems that can be difficult to impossible to reverse as it ages. It's not the dog's fault if it was neglected or abused by humans. It's not the dog's fault it wasn't trained. It's not the dog's fault it (possibly) has a mental problem, or untreated illness. It's not the dog's fault it's been (probably unintentionally) encouraged to misbehave and become vicious. I also don't appreciate it when people call dogs stupid. I find that very disrespectful, especially if this dog does indeed have mental problems it cant help. A lot of people associate lack of obedience to stupidity, and that's just not the case. And as I already said, it's not a dog's fault if it hasn't been trained. Just my opinion..

If its never been to the vet or trainer or behavioralist how can you be so sure its a "mental problem" and not an illness or behavior problem? I know Im not a professional trainer or behavioralist, but neither are you, so I mean, my point is just how can you know if it has never been checked by someone? I personally would suggest the dog see a vet to rule out any possible illnesses and then if need be see a behavioralist. However, I dont know the dog really, and Im just going off what you said, (I mean to make any assumptions), and it sounds like the dog prob has too many problems by now (how old is it?) to be able to be reversed. And if it was brought to a shelter it would most likely end up being euthanized because it’s unsafe for them to adopt out dogs like that. It also sounds like this dog isnt really well liked or cared for by most of the people in the home, and the most practical/possible solution in this situation would be euthanasia.
