Time Sensitive Advice Needed

Question
Hi There. My sister called me last night and she is completely beside herself bc her fiance told her "we just can't keep the dog". The dog is almost 2 years old and she was badly abused; they have had her for about 7 months now. She is sweet but she destroys everything in site. They took her to obedience school and it didn't work; they were told that she may not be able to be trained bc of her abuse, that there is probably no hope. We live in Northern Florida and I have done research online trying to find someone that specializes in training for abused dogs... but I can't find anything. There is no SPCA in N.FL so if they can't keep her she will be put down! Please, do you have any information that could help us find a specialized trainer for her ASAP???? Thank you!

Answer
I would contact Babette Haggerty who is located in Florida and New York. If she is not close enough to your location, she could recommend someone who is. http://www.haggertydog.com/babette-haggerty-brennan.html

You can also look for trainers through your local dog clubs.

Good Luck!
