I never recommend re-homing unless I know there is little hope of the dog leading a happy and fufilling life in the home that it is in at the time. It is difficult to see in an hour show all of the complexities of the issue but believe me - this was not the right home for this amazing dog - her behavior was spiraling out of control and the family did not have the time or the inclination to really work with her. She was a forgotten and unhappy dog and if I hadn't suggested re-homing her would have remained a forgotten and unhappy dog - and TV show or not - I am not going to leave a dog in those circumstances. PB is with people who understand her and will never give up on her, and we will all make sure she finds a good home however long it takes.

ALL RIGHT!!!

I often wonder what ends up on the cutting room floor. :wink: Training is an ongoing thing, a work in progress, etc.

It must be so frustrating to know how to help a dog, have people who say they will do 'whatever it takes for ___', but then won't make the effort to do it. There are times that I am growling at the people on the screen during her shows, and I'm only a spectator. it must take tremendous self control not to throttle someone at least once in a while .

Glad to hear that Peanut Butter is safe and cared for and about. We need hear about those happy endings to offset the sad tales that are all too common.

I agree, he would be SUCH a great agility dog, he's the type of dog I want to adopt someday, but not until I don't have cats anymore. His dog aggression did not look like the type you can train out, it looked like the type that you simply learn to control on walks and when he sees other dogs, I don't think he should interact with dogs again. I know many terrier breeds with genetic dog aggression and when they see another dog they get sooooo excited, tail wagging and if they were aloud to meet the dog they would try and kill it. They really, really want to attack it, no fear involved at all. No guarantee that he was that case but he sort of looked like it.
Thanks
