Assistance with our Chow
Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 11:04 am
I have a Chow she is 3 years old will be 4 in November. I did very well to socialize her as a puppy but she has always been afraid of new people as she became older. When she was about a year and a half we took her to a boarding school for training to help curb that. It worked for awhile but she was still afraid of new people. If she gets cornered and she cant get away she gets really afraid.
My brother's daughter cornered her yesterday and she snapped and bit her. I have a one year old son and we are afraid the same thing will happen to him. I have been searching online and everything says we should Euthanize her. I really do not want to do that. She is absolutely the sweetest dog in the world. She is just confused and scared at times around new people and when people corner her. We are not sure why she gets that way when being cornered but other then that shes a sweet heart. She opens up when she knows people are friendly.
I am hoping someone might be able to help us or give us advice or point us in the direction of something other than Euthanasia.
I am in St. Louis, Missouri and Springfield, Missouri every week. I am willing to drive out of state to a rescue that will take her and help her. I did not find any in Missouri.
Thank you.
