Yes he so gorgeous. Love him to bits. Been having such problems with him the past 3 years though and two behavious specialists and still no answers. About 3 years ago after my divorce he started attacking females(humans). Very sad and still no one can help. He is absultely the most loving dog around those he knows & goes to puppyday care all the times, loves otheranimals & is okay with humans off the property, however two attacks have occured on my property. Very sad yet still havent given up on him. x

Good to hear you will not give up, there must be something to be done, IS are very lovely and friendly dogs. Just a small detail, are you still living in the same house as before your divorce?

No I have moved back to Cape Town and the dogs go to Puppy day care as much as possible, they know Connor there since he was a Puppy and the lady Candice who owns it is a behaviour specialist so we are hoping with time he gets better. Walking them is very stressful as I have to keep them on the leads and unfortunately you never know if he might attack again. It is yes very sad as it is not common for setters to attack at all. Many vets have told me to put him down but my dogs are my life and to me that is not a solution however I do battle with the problem.

To put him down!!!  what an horrible non sense.... It is not a dog trying to bite everyone, so I would think that at the worse you could keep him with a mussel - like for the greyhound may be - when out of your place or when you have guests. It seems to me safer than with a lead, although I do not like mussel but it is still better than putting him down .. I just cannot believe that they advice you such a drastic and horrible solution... If I understood you properly, Connor wants to bite only human women, what about girls? Do not give up Alexa, I am sure you will find a nice solution for both of you.
