Well ,as my husbands muscular dystrophy has gotton worse our black am. cockerspanial has gotten worse not listening to him. She's well trained for me to sit.stay.lay down.go,target,shake paw,leave it, stop barking on first command, walk nicely, trainable as she loves food and we know how to train her but she's not listening and getting in his way of the wheelchair with no fear to get ran over ( I think she reaslises he's weak). When my husband tries to get out of his chair she jumps on him and has almos really hurt him and her. she's way too stong for him and couldn't pull her off a water meter guy, I was in another room so I had to run and deal with her. My mom who has wanted an older dog( ours is two) for a while and mentioned really wanting her we decided it's for the best she goes to my parents house( my dad's home for a few more months as he's recovering from a heat attack so walking will be good for him). She'll get walks,fed well and of course proper care. My husband really doesn't like pets just tolerates them said it's up to me and I'm heart broken but I think in the end this is really for the best( he doesn't want to go to classes as he still works).We are keeping our tiny undersized bichon as she listens and obays him and isn't too strong risking both.
