Shipping a dog? Need Advice!

[dummkopf]

I fell in love with her. She is a biter and I am good with that. Bad thing is if she bites one more time, I am told they will put her down.

Shipping half way across the country will be pricey, BUT I DO NOT CARE!!!

Just look at that face. Any advice would be much appreciated.

2 year old female. Looks like Australian Shepherd to me but someone said she might be mixed with a German Shepherd?... Like that matters?

May be time for a road trip. Hopefully, she can be trained to not bite. I’ve been amazed by these videos I’ve seen on the interweb by this trainer named Cesar. In our case, we have a little Yorkie mix rescue who bit us numerous times (including a really bad episode involving my wife). A key thing we learned was that our dog could not literally be at our level (a kind of mental hierarchy thing). Thus, no more sitting on our laps or laying on our bed. Really seemed to help. Good luck on your journey. Your doggie has a wonderful face.

Shipping animals is a tricky thing. First you have to determine who is capable of shipping at the time of year. Larger animals must go cargo, and cargo that must be heated, so airlines have many restrictions on when this can be done. Only small dogs that can fit into carry-on bags (for animals) and fit under a seat can accompany a passenger. Long journeys may require an airline handler to exercise the dog, and a biter is a poor candidate for this. DTDT

I can post a few more if needed.
Best of luck with her.

If the dog has behavioural issues it will be hard to get a company to transport her, unless she is semi sedated.
We have had dogs for +50yrs from all backgrounds ie abandoned to pure breed puppies and have had a couple of 'biters' / 'nippers' over that time and found biting them back (immediately after they have bitten someone) on the ear really really hard works.
Sounds inhumane but hey, the alternative is the lethal jab.

Paul. We have only ever had small dogs and puppies shipped and then by road and then air and never more than one air leg. I think the idea of a road trip for this size dog, especially with its potential issues, seems to me like the easiest option. However that also depends on how long the trip would be. If it is “halfway across the USA” that sounds a lot easier than it would be in practice although the dog would only be going half way - but you would have to go both ways.
