We have 2 dogs that we bought as puppies 3 and a half years ago. One of them is the most placid, beautiful animal. Everybody loves him. The other one we have had continual aggression problems with. We have truly done everything we can, and though she has improved slightly, she is what I'd consider a dangerous dog. I know its nothing we have done, we have treated both dogs the same but sadly this one is just trouble. She has anxiety which triggers the aggression

I have been thinking for some time now about having her euthanized. This has been so hard for me to accept. I love animals. I don't believe in putting pets down because they are inconvenient. If you get a pet, its for life. But I'm starting to get anxiety about my girl. We can't take her anywhere. She will attack another animal or person if not controlled. She hasn't, because we control her, but I don't think I have the capabilities*to control her anymore, not with a baby to care for.

And the other dog misses out because we avoid doing things like taking them to the beach because its not enjoyable. I want to be able to go out as a family with our pet and not worry about making sure we are at least 100 metres away from anyone, because if we get too close she starts growling and barking, really aggressively. We can't put the dogs in a kennel, because they get protective of each other and are completely unapproachable (the other dog behaves perfectly when the other is not around). So we can't go away on holidays. When people come over we have to lock her away because she is crazy towards them.

I wish she could be the placid, friendly, cuddly dog to visitors as she is to us. In all honesty I'm not worried about how she is with DS, she has been great! No signs of jealousy or aggression even on the first day we brought DS home. She was gentle.

I don't know where I am really going with this, or what I want you to say. I just don't have the heart to not have her.
