What is she in the utility room? Does she
destroy the house? Just wondering if she might be claustrophobic!

Subject: [pyrnet] SC Pyr with
problems - suggestions needed
I just received this message from Cherie Longshore
(clongshore@retirement.sc.gov), I know she'd really appreciate suggestions,
otherwise I foresee another candidate for rescue. Since I became a mere
"contact" for Rescue in South Carolina, I am getting more calls than
I anticipated - two today. Shirley
Hi,
I have an 18 month old female Great
Pyrenees that is a bit more that we can handle.
When she is determined to get out
of the fenced in back yard, there is nothing to stop her.
She is currently recovering from a
fracture due to escaping and being hit by a car.
I am having to keep her in my
utility room and when I can not be there to allow her to go out for a walk to
use the bathroom, she destroys the window sills and door facings and etc.
Is there some behavioral training that is self taught and inexpensive that we
can consider,
Or is this "working dog"
not a wise choice for a pet and she should be placed on a farm with livestock
to guard and protect?
We did not know what we were getting into, when we got her as a puppy.
She is very loving to the family,
but is difficult to contain.
I really hate to get rid of
her. She's already escaped once from the local county animal control
center already.
Thanks, Cherie
