Picture it: A family of six goes to the shelter looking for a dog. They choose an older dog because they don’t want to deal with puppy issues. Back at home, right off the bat, they are confronted with food aggression and growling. Now, the family is divided. Mom wants to return the dog to the shelter before someone gets hurt. Dad wants to keep the dog and teach his kids that dogs aren’t lamps that you return if they don’t work as expected. The kids love the dog just as he is and want to keep him. At this point in the game, everyone’s wrong. They can’t keep the dog without professional intervention. This dog, in his current state, needs the help of a trainer or behaviorist who specializes in aggression. That said, training always helps, but it isn’t a guaranteed cure. Returning the dog to the shelter is an option, but it’s not ideal. Shelter animals face tough odds getting adopted once. Twice? And after being returned due to aggression? Doesn’t bode well for the dog. Keeping the dog and working with him to manage the aggression is also an option. But it’s not one most lawyers, doctors, vets, animal control officers, police officers, child welfare agents or insurers would advise. Not with kids in the house. The best option for all involved is a creative version of both. First, enlist a professional trainer who understands aggression and has had success controlling it -- stat. There are also trainers who do “board and train.” It’s typically more expensive, but it serves the dual purpose of getting the dog’s behavior under professional management and getting the dog away from the kids. Next -- or simultaneously -- start networking the dog. Rescue groups with their networks of volunteers may be able to locate a dog-savvy foster home without kids, giving the dog a temporary home until something permanent can be found. When they don’t have space readily available, some of these groups have outreach programs, which essentially turn you into the dog’s foster family while they network the dog on their site, at their adoption Cody's Corner: Turn to Page 8
