Now y'all are getting all mushy about a psyhco dog that can't be controlled... maybe one of you "dog whisperers" should step up and adopt this "problem child" and show us how it is done?

Uh, yeah, show you how it's done. Maybe we could talk about one of the homeless dogs I've worked with and successfully gotten adopted. The German Shepherd with stranger issues? Or the other German Shepherd with aggression problems? How about the hound that didn't know how to be a dog and interact with humans until I worked with him for several weeks? Maybe even my own border collie who had stranger issues and resource guarding problems when I first rescued her? I could go on if you'd like.
And why would one of us have to adopt the dog if the owner plans to take appropriate steps toward behavior modification? If the OP were anywhere near me, I'd volunteer my time to work with the dog, no hesitation.
Ah screw it, let's go with the genius who suggested the .45...we really need to make sure he never takes responsibility for anything more sentient than a house plant.
