Beat Dog

Question
My dog was sent to a trainer whom we thought was a good trainer. We were told by the references that we were given that he was great. When we got our dog back he was hand shy and badly aggressive (We did report him). He would bite anyone who tried to go near him on his bed. He is violent toward strangers and we are trying our best to control it. Do you have any tips on what we can do to help him overcome his abuse?

Answer
Jessica,

In my experiences with this kind of situation, this is going to take a lot of understanding from you to correct this. I suggest that you contact an behavior/trainer from your local SPCA or Humane Society or even your vet this is something you will need help to fix.
Like in everything there are people who never should be allowed to teach/touch an animal and I think you found one of those people.
When your dog goes into training YOU should always be there, if a trainer will not let you find someone else.
