I have taken back and put down multiple dogs who have bitten - not through any fault of their own, but put in the wrong situations. HOWEVER, once a dog has bitten, I can never trust him again and I am just not willing to take a chance with children, other dogs and any people in general. I also don't like lawsuits and if I knowingly place a risky dog, I am placing a loaded shotgun and can be sued. I do watch Cesar and I don't believe in rehabbing many of those dogs he has claimed to rehab. I have also heard from several people that there are also some other disciplines that he does use that never show up on tv. Once I stop trusting a dog, I can never go back... I am extremely fussy about temperaments - as much as I love dogs, there is just way too much at stake and I would be devastated if one of my dogs did something to a small child... That is my worst nightmare...
