Very Sad Day

Today was a very hard day for the 5 of us. We had to take Maddie to the Humane Society. This is why.......Almost exactly 1 month ago we picked up "Maddie" our puppy. Two weeks later we found a wonderful trainer for her. The more training we gave her the more aggressive she was getting. It turned out that we picked out a dog with some serious genetic mental issues. Our trainer worried that she may turn on the kids one day. That was my worry too and the reason why I looked for a trainer in the first place. Even though we had some issues with her we loved having her in our lives and will be looking for another dog within the next couple of years. I definately recommend a dog to anyone, but if you have small children don't get a puppy. It will be alot easier to start out with a dog that is a little older, 1-2 yrs old. Oh! and CRATE TRAIN! Crate training made a world of a difference for us.
