My intention here is to help people considering the option of whether to put down a dog who is seriously aggressive, in hopes that I can provide some guidance. Euthanizing a physically healthy dog, one who is joyful and loving part of the time, is surely the hardest thing a dog lover has to face. Often I’d run into people who would say “Oh! What a wonderful job you have!”, no doubt envisioning me spending my days running through fields of daisies with Golden Retriever puppies.Īs hard as it is to talk to clients about whether to put down an aggressive dog, it is nothing compared to what the owners are going through. I would drive home, sick at heart, and wonder why the hell I hadn’t found an easier way to make a living. These were some of the hardest cases I worked with when I was seeing clients full time. And yet, sometimes, that is an option that dog owners have to consider. If there is anything harder than euthanizing a beloved dog for serious behavioral problems, I don’t know what it is.
