Right now she is not bringing her dog into the reptile centre. I don't think it is fair to us to ever bring her dog back.
How can we look at the dog and not picture Daisy in her jaws.
There are dog trainers in Toronto so that won't be a problem. We have talked it over and Paul is going to demand she work with a dog trainer. He wants to see the receipts as proof that she has done it, and not just one visit. I think she will have to comply because we could still report the dog for what it did. The dog should be muzzled. It is a rescue and not very social.
I am angry that she knew her dog was not well behaved and she never did anything to fix the problem. Daisy paid the price.
We have talked about another dog. If a dog comes to us needing a home we will take it in. Most likely it would be a customer's dog if they had to move or took sick or something.
Right now we have a volunteer with a wonderful dog, a rottweiler, shepherd mix(with something else). It is so mellow and well behaved. She is bringing it in when she is there so we are not totally without a dog. I think that has made us all feel better.
Sounds like you have it handled. Demanding lessons and proof is definitely a good idea. You might could even have it set up though the center. Where she pays the center and then the center pays the trainer. That would give you control and you would be able to call the trainer to make sure she is actually going.
However you handle it, I agree that if she refuses to then you should go to the authorities. Might even want to consult an officer about the issue. Explain that right now we are handling like this but if she refuses we would like to press charges. They could help you with laws, what you need to do to press charges, and statute of limitations.
