Meet leo
Leo is five years old and we love and pamper him. We rescued Leo in TX as a tiny pup. However he has developed significant reactivity and aggression. Over the last several months, he has growled at and nipped at several neighbors. More recently, he has developed a high predatory drive toward specific vehicles (trucks) and has become increasingly "distant" and hyper-vigilant.
The safety threshold was crossed today when Leo went after my two-year-old child. He is currently in a state of constant "guarding" and appears irritated by the presence of the toddler. We have attempted professional training, increased exercise, and diet changes, but his behavior is deteriorating rather than improving.
Leo is no longer safe in a home with children or in a busy neighborhood environment. He requires an experienced, adult-only home or a sanctuary environment where his triggers can be strictly managed by professionals. He is a high-liability risk in a standard residential setting.
