Sometimes it is in the best interest of the dog and her humans to euthanize for behavior reasons. These are among the most difficult, trying, emotional, and complex cases I take on. It's never an easy decision, it's never taken lightly, but sometimes it's the right choice. If you find yourself in this situation, or maybe the thought has crossed your mind, take a look at the links below. Remember, as your trainer, I will support whatever decision you make.
