I think my pitbull has seperation anxiety or just brain damage:). Everytime I leave the house I come home to find something new torn up an most likely destroyed. He use to be aggressive towards other dogs in the neighbo hood so I have to keep him contained. The underground system around my fenced yard wont keep him away from the fence.I moved him indoors during the day but with or without the other dogs with him he breaks doors and windows to get out. I tried a 10X10 chain kennel and he ate his way out...serveral times. I had to privacy fence my back yard and put electric fence around it....but he chews, eats, scratches, and tears his way through vinyl siding, insulation,house skirting, metal water heater sheds, and wooden gates. This is only a brief describtion of his damage. I try supplying toys, music, and other dog company to help his problem but nothing has seemed to help. It has got to the point were I cant afford to continue to fix things and feel the dog should go. I feel he needs better training. I dont know what to do. I cant give someone else my problem dog and I cant euthanize him just for bad behavior. What do I do????????????

This question is outside the scope of a dog training question and needs an answer by a veterinary behaviorist. I would consult with your vet for a referral. I found an article "Treat or euthanize? Helping owners make the decision", by Lore Haug, DVM, DACVB who is a board certified veterinary behaviorist. She is widely respected in the field of dog training. |
