I have a rescue that is dog agressive, what should I do?
My Esther – a chow mix, came to me having just had12 puppies, she was extremely emaciated and HW+ It is also obvious that she was beaten. She hid for weeks behind the shed and gradually bonded with me.
Now six months later she has come quite a long way, with firm handling she is a nice dog to walk and a pretty mellow house dog. Unfortunately she has attacked a couple of the neigbors dogs recently – when we did not latch the gate. I have another dog agressive dog who encourages her, she is a australian shepherd mix and very bossy, so I do not walk them together.
She plays kind of rough with the third dog and I do not let them
stay in the yard alone .
Another problem is that her heart is damaged from the HW, she cannot run without discomfort. I really love her and want the best for her, my husband is not sure she wont get worse, she has attacked one of my cats – the other one stands up for himself. Do you think she is in a lot of pain, its so hard to tell with dogs

As far as her being in pain, that is something that your vet will have to determine. Also, I would recommend a trainer come to your house and work with all your dogs to create harmony amongst them. It will cost, but it will be well worth it! Good luck to you and your doggies!
