A few months ago I posted about my CC biting me. It has occurred more often. Level 3 bites at unpredictable
times and without warning. We have seen her trainer, an animal behaviorist and also a veterinary behaviorist. The veterinary behaviorist says that this is a dangerous situation, and it's not safe for me to be around the dog anymore. She sadly recommends euthanasia.
This is of course breaking my heart and my husband's... he and the CC are close and love each other dearly. She's not always a bad dog, it's just that we can't predict when she will hurt me next, and behaviorists can't pinpoint a why or way to pivot the behavior. We don't want her to hurt anyone else, and I guess euthanasia is the only way to guarantee that, but we need to feel like we've tried everything. The VB said we have to think about it as the CC is sick; somehow mentally. But we are struggling still.
If anyone knows of any way she can go somewhere to be rehabilitated, please reply today. I've already reached out to a rescue and a sanctuary, but they won't take an unpredictable biter. I don't know if it is only me, or if she has a problem with all females. I feel just absolutely terrible.
