Quelqu'un connait un comportementaliste en Nouvelle-Ecosse?

Voici ce que j'ai reçu tantôt mais je ne connais personne réellement du secteur.

I have my little American Eskimo since September.

he came from a petstore i know that is an issue in itself, and i am not a horrible person because i did not go to a good breeder. i went into the store without any intentions of buying a dog. but there i see this american eskie, almost full grown and looking pretty bad. i told the little kid working there to bring him out. he wasnt even a dog tail between his legs, ears down, didnt even want to move... sooo insecure.

anyways i spent 2 hours sitting on the floor with him in my lap. i went home that night and looked up on the breed. i live bymyself so a little watch dog wouldnt be a problem, i have tons of experience with dogs, they are more of a touchy breed then some but i was up for it. i liked the fact that they like the water and so on and so on. so i went to the pet store everyday for a week, sat with him, bonded with him, and of course couldnt leave without him.

i brought him home and with in the first 2 days he had bitten 2 people. i was the only one that could touch him or walk close to him. i of course went back to the petstore made a sceen and got my money back so i guess you could call him a rescue.

he missed out on all proper socialization, he was at the petstore from 6 weeks to 7 and a half months, the only contact he got with people was someone banging on the glass or throwing him food. or at least til i came along. he never seen the outside, didnt know what a treat was, or a toy. never wore a callor, it was sickening.

he was always great with dogs, and i did get a second dog in december and they are a bonded pair. now heres where i need the help guys....

he has always had issues with people, he has bitten 3 people drawing blood twice. he has snapped countless times and has grabbed nearly everyone walking near him by the leg. barks quite a bit which i dont mind and i know its normal but sometimes he sounds so mean especially if he is on a leash and someone walks buy he is lunging and growling and barking... he is only 18 lbs but when he gets like that i can barely keep control of him. and things are getting worse, now its cars, other dogs, which he has always been fine with, he barks at every sound, is territorial of the house the yard, the car, me, my other dog, gets anxious if i walk across the floor or brush my teeth, he thinks i am leaving or something. obedience class is overwhelming he wont listen in the least, he is going after dogs their people and even the trainer. and now my other dog who has the sweetest disposition is mimicing him, barking at anything that
[table style="TABLE-LAYOUT: fixed" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 width="100%"][tr][td vAlign=top width="85%" height="100%"]moves, and growling at new dogs and people.

he has never nipped at me on purpose, but has accidently when i tried to get him calmed down at a pubic park or something, he will also lash out at my other dog if she is beside him when he is in that state of mind.

i have made appointments for him to be euthanized but never seem to be able to do it. i have seen trainers, and even paid 200 an hour and traveled 6 hours for a dog therapist, and some tell me to take him to mall parking lots which is impossible he could hurt someone. the therapist gave me a gentel leader and a clicker which did nothing, my vet gave me clamicalm an anti anxiety drug... which i dont see much of a change. i have tried the muzzel, which he will pee himself when he wears it. i dont know what else to do

can anyone help????? or is he just beyond help? is it too late where he was socialized as a pup. if anyone can tell me what it right it would be other eskie owners.
lincoln was actually dianosed with conflict aggression, he feels he needs to get whatever is coming at him rather then them getting him. as far as not taking him anywhere that he will be afraid that is nearly impossible a dog needs to be walked or taken to the vet or to relax in the living room where he might hear an odd sound.

i still believe that he accidently snapped at me that day at the park. i dont think anyone understands what this dog is like when he is in that "state of mind" it is pure kaos, there is nothing i can do to calm him down. he does actually stop until that person or stroller or kid or dog or car is out of eye sight. i dont even think he know what is happening at that time.

and there is no question on wheather i am commited to this dog or not... i have been dealing with this since the day i brought him home in september. yes i have considered euthanasia because i am listening to what the experts say and i am fustrated but i still have him, and am willing to do anything to keep it that way. he is only a year old. i cant do this for another 15 plus years... someday i will have children, or wont be living alone what then?

i will do anything but honestly some trainers ideas of how to deal with this are rediculous or completely unrealistic. i take all the advise i can get and only do what i think is best for us.

i had a look at the site they do phone consultations only to preexisting clients and wont give training advise over the phone. i am in nova scotia canada my resourses are limited seminars i wish, and since i moved the closest trainer is 3 hours from me. thank you for the tips. and talking the time to reply.



Donc j'aimerais pouvoir la référer à quelqu'un du coin mais je ne suis pas certaine qu'il y en a. En connaissez-vous?
