You probably have a point. We got Lucy and worked with her as a puppy. We had another dog, Bailey, at the time. Bailey was an older Lab and she has since been put down due to old age. A lot of the problems started when Bailey left. I think Bailey was Lucy's "security blanket".

We did not take Lucy to the park and such very much as a puppy, my wife was pregnant with our 3rd child at the time and of course 3 kids under 5 takes a lot of time. Now that Abby is getting older maybe my wife could start taking Lucy to the park but 3 kids is a handful without adding in a dog too.

I did daily walks with her for a while but that stopped about 4 months ago. I plan to resume the daily walks with her, I think it will do her good.

In any case, we have had dogs before and they did not show aggressive tendencies despite getting the same "training" that Lucy did, sit, stay and down. That's it.

I am hoping that she can turn into one of those fantastic dogs with some effort. If not, I'll find a place where someone else can perhaps do a better job than I can.
