Dog's name: Lolita, Report: 040121

Sex: Female
Age: 4 years
Breed: Golden Retriever
My dog, while great with people she sees often, is afraid of strangers.  She is not aggressive towards them, just very shy.  Also, she barks and sometimes growls at other dogs when we are out on a walk.  At the dog park, she loves everyone.  I have read enough to know that we need to work on this anxiety problem. She is high-energy and chews shoes, ink pens, etc. She also digs in the yard and sometimes uninates in the house.

Dog's Name: Percy, Report: 040102

Breed: = Saint Bernard mix
Age: = 3
DT/BM: Percy has been a loving, family dog since we received her.  She has had a problem chewing up furniture until this day. She has always chased our cats away. She is a close companion to our English bull dog who is the same age(male). Of last, the last two months she has attacked our older (male) basset hound (5yrs old) she has bitten him so badly he had to be treated by the Vet for the deep wounds to his neck.  He was in the hospital for a month,there were complications to his recovery i.e. infection, discharge etc.  When he returned home this week we kept them apart for five days, yesterday she got loose and when she came near the basset hound she immediately became Cujo and bite his neck.  He does not fight back, but if we did not stop the attack she would have done serious damage.

Now there is a person who is willing to take Percy to Texas to a farm where she can run freely.  We love her very much and would prefer to keep her, but cant see how this would ever work out.  A trainer came over but couldn't work with Percy and the basset hound while he was recovering.   She spent a lot of time teaching Percy and the Bull Dog sit and heel but did not address the aggression.  The basset is no fearful of Percy he does not want to be alone.  Tonight she is with the person who is willing to take her to Texas next week.

Dog's name: Kane, Report: 031124

Sex: = Male
Breed: = German Shepard
Age: = 8 years
DT/BM Goal: He's too aggressive with strangers.  He tries to attack people he doesn't know.  After I spend a while acclimating him to "strangers", he's okay with them.  But when someone he doesn't know comes to the house he's too aggressive. My wife and I are both close with him.  We have 3 other dogs that are not aggressive.

Dog's Name: Marco, Report: 031030

Sex: = Male
Breed: = American Pitbull Terrier
Age: = 11 Months
DT/BM: My dog got in his first fight yesterday. Up until the he was very laid back and relaxed. The dog was a dog he associated with often. I think it was a male dominance thing. He is a big part of the family. He is not human agressive at all.
