Elliehanna...It so nice to see someone on here from my town. That is cool...

Anyway, thank you for the advice, i greatly appreciate yours and all others. However, We (hubby and I) feel that we can not keep ryder due to the fact that he has already gotten a hold of 3 other dogs, the first two came at us, but when he charged thru the gate for the 3rd, that opened our eyes that he does need someone that can properly train him. I simply cannot even walk him, because he is starting to drag and pull so much. and quite frankly, i am afraid to, I live just on 10th street and we have a lot of loose dogs around...I just can't take that chance...

As for Sophie Sue, i walk her at least twice a day. We have two different routes we take. I am trying my best not to do the same wrong things that i did with ryder. I know i didn't socialize him properly, i didn't take him around other dogs (and truthfully don't know if i should with sophie). We have just started to sophie to petsmart on the weekends, she is fine there, except for the dogs, she just barks and carries on. And i don't know how to address this.

So anyway, we are still going to be placing him. I just want was is best for him.
