[rehoming] [help] I can’t make this difficult decision to rehome my dog https://ift.tt/eA8V8J I have a 1 year old GSD... since he was young he’s been reactive. He used to bark and lunge a lot but now he doesn’t as much. Recently he nipped a stranger passing by and since then I’ve been scarred and unable to trust him. This is my first dog and I never imagined it like this. I really wanted a friendly dog to take everywhere but I can’t take my dog anywhere. He’s not even considered a dog park kind of dog to our trainer and said it’s not good to put him in many social situations as he does not like it. This has become so disheartening and makes me mourn for the dog I wanted... I feel so guilty I want to spend more money on training but my boyfriend has had enough of spending money on training. I feel guilty about rehoming him and I don’t want to but despite training I’m not always comfortable handling him. I know I made a mistake choosing the breed I did. I am posting this because I feel lost. I’m not sure how I will ever know if rehoming is best for all of us. dogs starrynightxox
