nice screen name btw. lol.
i think both parties are at fault. hers for not properly researching and theirs for not realizing that a dog like this has no business being with an inexperienced handler.

Several morals to this story:
1) members of the general public have no business whatsoever owning "protection" dogs
2) you want a dog to protect you, get a sweet loving large breed like a Rottie or even a mutt, and treat it as a member of the family. Dogs protect their "pack" by instinct.
3) protection dogs are weapons and should be treated with the same respect you would treat a loaded gun with. Except there is no safety switch and it can fire at any time on its own.
Since she legally owns the dog, the fault is her own. And any time a dog bites a human, there is a mandatory 10-day quarantine, regardless of circumstances. And there is nothing at all unusual about having to pry a dog off a bite sleeve, this is what protection dogs do-they bite. Hard. And yes, they can kill people, which is why the average moron off the street has no business owning one.

Fearful dogs or dogs with high defense drive are very dangerous to try to train for guarding. The school should have recognized the dog's defect and never ever tried to train her. I can understand an owner not recognizing it, but a professional should have seen the personality defects in the dog.

Chan was paired with a dog named Cak. She noticed the dog frequently wore a muzzle. During a biting demonstration the dog's jaws had to be pried off the trainer's foam-padded arm with a metal stick.
She was a total idiot to even accept the dog. If that offends people then so be it.

Based on that I say that wasn't a very reputable place, and the dog was unstable.
Plus she overpaid.
You can get this type of dog from a reputable training center for around $5000-$6000.

She could have gotten any large breed of dog that has nautral insticts. Hell my poodle is vicious towards anyone that comes near me.
What happened happened and hopefully she learned her lesson and I don't she should get her money back.

I think she should get the money back i agree with them a good TRAINED dog wouldn't just attack like that. Now a mean vicious one would.

Most dogs aren't suitable for protection training. This is what happens when you try to train one that isn't.

sounds to me that the trainers arent training very well.
but if she signed any kind of safety release/waiver, shes screwed. if not, then i think she should get her money and more back.
