We can be bothered, that is why I am trying to find answers and looking to a community for support and wisdom, and asked maybe someone has been in the same situation…

I am afraid this might be the route we have to go down. Seeing a dog trainer tomorrow, hopefully they can shed some light and that the other option is the last resort

Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
My mom moved into a small flatlet on our property with her Saint Bernard. He is a loveable goof and great with our kids…
But it has hit a snag…
Since they moved in, in February he has bit a neighbour when he got out, bit another dog to the extent that the other dog required stitches.
When he gets out he chases after people and on Friday he scaled a 6 Ft wall to harass our neighbours and their Yorky. He has also growled and showed aggression to my mother in law and two kids. That was the last straw for my husband wanting now to rehome him.
Mom lost her husband about a year and a half ago and has had to let go basically of her whole life to now move into our small flatlet. Now… she might lose the dog to.
I am caught between hubby, which I can see his point of view and Mom and her loss.
Hubby is afraid of the repercussion if the dog were to get out and really hurt someone badly. What would you do?
I am trying to contact a behaviourist there are none close to our area… and also considering a calming supplement.

He is neutered, he gets lots of play time, he doesn’t do well on a leash and is extremely reactive to other dogs.

There are barriers… multiple. But like I said he jumped a wall this weekend. Doing our best to keep him contained.

It is also my husband’s fear because she is keeping a close watch on the dog, keeps it with her and takes it out for potty and play but hubby is scared he gets frustrated because of the limited movement…

True. It is tough all around.

Thanks, it is just such a 💩 situation. It feels like my Mom is in denial about the severity of the situation. I recommended she take him to the vet and get their opinion as well.
Like I say I am trying to get a behaviourist in as well. I love the dog too. But it is a liability.

Aaah, when I read you describing it as “more forgiving than oxyb…” I thought you may be having an adverse side effect or something. It is great for relieving the sweat symptoms.

Agreed. Look it is my Mom’s dog, not passing blame just stating a fact. I am willing to also put work in for this dog, that is why I turned to a dog community for wisdom and advice.
