I have an agressive 1 yr old he recently bit grandkid he escaped house and chased folks who were walking around wife wants to put him down sat is there any hope he can be rehabilitated?
Yes, there's hope. Dog Gone helped my girl with the opposite problem but aggressive behavior is almost always something you can change with modifications! There's usually a root cause that can be fixed.

Dave helped me with a new foster who has trust issues when being touched or physically guided to do something. He was very thorough and carefully showed step by step techniques to build her trust and give her the power to choose what she wanted to do instead of feeling forced or coerced to do something.
