Missy is a wonderful 1 1/2 year old golden retriever/shepherd/akita

under control because she perceives new hubby as "big dog", causing
more problems in the home. Any leads on finding a good home?


What have you done to help her overcome this problem? How is your new
spouse interacting with your dog? There is an excellent article on how
to deal with this issue he http://www.ddfl.org/behavior/submissive.htm

One of the dogs that I have dog sat used to have an excitement urination
problem. We managed the problem and worked with her until she grew out
of it. Considering how many perfectly good dogs are out there looking
for homes, I'd say that you're much better off working to solve this
problem rather than dumping her when it became a little inconvenient for
you.
