Aidan says hi!

So Aidan has had a tough week defending his neurotic behavior against poorly chosen targets.  If you are going to endlessly herd and squeal at a group of dogs that you live with (24/7) - it's not optional, that you be able to out run them when they finally break.
I am not blameless in this, but as everyone who has owned a functionally damaged dog knows, maintenance is never 100 percent.  It's bound to fail, and the victim is just that, a victim of a behavior that they learned from either poor genetics or a start in life that you would not wish on your own worst enemy. Aidan is one of the smartest, sweetest dogs, either alone or in a place that he feels comfortable.  But when he is insecure - he has a bark just a few decibels below a fire engine siren and absolutely no impulse control, every synapse in his body misfires. His eyes get that glazed look, his tongue hangs out the side and you know that nothing you do will affect the outcome of whatever has been put in motion.

I  don't really know what the right thing is to do with him.  I could, and they would take him, return him to corgi rescue.  that would solve my problem, but not his.  How many people could help him - he is not your normal pet.  I am a certified pet trainer, have taken him to many classes, agility, socialization, cu, and so on. Not that I am his best bet in a happy life, just don't know how to determine what would be.

And truthfully, I would miss him.

  I am sure we will figure it out - what ever way that is, but let me state on the record, this is the 2nd majorly damaged corgi puppy I have gotten from Missouri (puppy mill hell), and I wish that puppy mills didn't result in such traumatized dogs.

It's eay to euthanize them (whether as un-adoptable puppies or later when all this stuff comes out), it's harder to keep them alive and give them enough tools to live a happy life.

Just want him to be happy, but don't know if he has the ability to be that, or if I am a good enough trainer to teach him the rules that will allow him  to be.

No answers - just a work in progress.
