you watch all the shows on animal planet, and you wonder why everyone doesnt hire a pro.

i watched a show where this mother/daughter both had big dogs that were insane and violent. they attached leads to the wall, and leashed the dogs there. then they had guest come over. the dogs went ballistic. the second they did, everyone got up and left the room. in a few minutes they came back, dogs went ballistic again. they repeated it, until the dogs figured their tantrum didnt produce any good results....it worked.

personally, i went through the same deal. i had to get rid of my dog, once my neighbor opened up their home as a day care. my dog absolutely hated small kids. i heard stories where my dog would corner moms and kids cujo style in their cars!!!. my other neighbors would lasso my dog and lead her away. i got lucky. i have retired, vigilant neighbors that watched out for my dog. i could have been sued, bigtime.
