He isnt going away for good...
4-8 weeks...
He is being trained by an animal behaviorist, and should come back being an obedient dog, consistently.
He has some emotional reactivity thing going on, basically...if we dont take this drastic measure, we have to either get rid of him...which would be a death sentence for him, or risk him biting someone, and then he goes bye bye for good, and yet, another death sentence.
Once he gets excited past a certain threshold, he throws temper tantrums, and loses control of himself, and is unaware of what he is doing...and for now, because he has learned to control his bite, nothing REALLY bad has happened....but once he learns that he doesnt have to control it....it will be bad...he goes nuts when he gets too excited...he turns from cute, friendly, funny oakley, to evil, devil, scary oakley...
So this trainer is going to try to teach oakley to be more relaxed around things that cause him to get excited.
I am going to miss him sooo much
Wish him luck, and farewell!
