Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We adopted Dakota around 3 years ago. She has always been lively but eager to please. She has great training and knows sit, down, place, heel, and break very well. She has ecollar training from an off leash trainer. She can be the sweetest, most loving girl when she has the right attention. She is aggressive toward other dogs. She has high anxiety and needs consistent training 15-30mins daily to relieve stress and make her feel valued in the home. As our children are becoming toddlers, we have some fears over her anxiety level with them as she will sometimes growl move away hurriedly and nervous and we can’t give her the attention she deserves. She is a wonderfully loving dog but needs a home that can dedicate time and energy to her without kids or other pets. It breaks our heart to lose her but we feel like it’s best for her and our children. She would do great with a veteran or service member who thrives in a structured environment like she does so they could be loyal best friends.
