Didn't you get rid of your last dog because you didn't want a dog aggressive dog? Or something like that? Now you have one that might be human and animal aggressive?
You've got a situation on your hands now.
Listen, I'm in your backyard. We have a club full of people that would be willing to help you. I offered when you joined the board.

I'm really no help either What did the trainer say?

I know the first response to a dog biting is 'it needs to be put down'.. but Im not sure if I can live with that guilt. Not to mention, I signed one hell of a contract when we adopted her

Long story short, when you have a dog with a history of biting, you can get into alot of trouble very fast. Back then, biting dogs were not a huge thing so nobody sued me. But it could have been alot worse.

Unfortunately, both Liz and the lady who rescued Jaida, cant get any information/history out of the previous rescue, so we're unsure of her past, whats happened in other homes, if she is known to bite, etc.

your biggest question now????
I'm assuming you knew that she had been bounced around this much before you took her in?
mnp13 wrote:I don't know if it was aggression or lack of manners, but you need to get this under control now. First - where are you taking her for training and what credentials do the trainers have?
You adopted this dog knowing that she had been through 9 homes in a year. Did you think that she was going to be an angel? You took her on with all the information you needed, and it is your job to take care of the problem now.
You got rid of your puppy because of aggression that may or may not have ever surfaced. Jaida may have plenty of dog aggression herself - you're going to have to accept that and find a trainer qualified to teach you to deal with it.

Some of these people have an amazing way of making a dog like that sound all rosy and sweet and that the rehoming was all just unfortunate coincidences, or unfit homes, but they don't address the real issue for fear that A) no one would want the dog or B) they would actually have to make the decision to put the dog down.
