dog obedience biting

Whatr options for a dog that bites euthanesia addition, preferably a sanctuary or an aggressive dog house?
which is a water dog 5 years Portuguese age. started biting people in the last year or so … We tried everything, drugs / obedience training and specialists but still sometimes yells at people (usually runners and cyclists) when we are walking and the vet told us that we are out of options and has to be sacrificed … I was wondering if anyone knows about the shrines or aggressive dog houses, preferably in the Bay Area for my family and I can see.
If the dog is unpredictable he must be sacrificed. He is not balanced and unbalanced dog is a happy dog.

A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
$9.98 As a society, we are no less obsessed with the immediate than when Eugene Peterson first wrote this Christian classic. If anything, email and the Internet may have intensified our quest for the quick fix. But Peterson's time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same--a long obedience in the same direction. Tucked away in the Hebrew Psalter, Peterson discovered "an old dog-eared songbook," the Songs of Ascents that were sung by pilgrims on their way up to worship in Jerusalem. In these songs (Psalms 120-134) Peterson finds encouragement for modern pilgrims as we learn to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community and blessing. This 20th anniversary edition of A Long Obedience in the Same Direction features these Psalms in Peterson's widely acclaimed paraphrase, The Message. He also includes an epilogue in which he reflects on the themes of this book and his ministry during the twenty years since its original publication. Features & Benefits * encouragement for growing in Christian belief and practice* shuns the quick fix in favor of a long-term commitment to learning, following and growing* highlights discipleship basics like worship, service, work, joy, humility, community, happiness and blessing* revised and expanded edition of a Christian classic* each Psalm rendered in Peterson's fresh paraphrase, The Message |

Biting the Wax Tadpole
$17.48 "Charming anecdotes, witty sidebars, attractive illustrations.... Little’s strong sense of humor never overwhelms her love of languages in this fascinating yet educational introduction to linguistics for a wide, pop-savvy audience.” – Publishers Weekly“A delightful language scrapbook – the deliberately disjointed diary of a language lover.” – Chicago Tribune“A tour of all the quirk and queerness to be found among the world's many dialects ... her meandering, highly-readable riffs on Finnish prepositions and Incan counting systems manage to be funny, earnest, and not funny because of their earnestness – something of a feat for a book that could be used as a grammar primer.” – The Onion A.V. Club“A wrap-worthy language book. A multilingual voyage, exploring the ‘quirks, innovations, and implausibilities’ of the world's languages.” – Boston Globe "This is a fun book for grammar and pop-culture lovers alike. Little provides grammar basics and little-known facts by incorporating stories of her travels, Star Wars, Dr. Seuss and other familiar icons. It's both a breezy read and a useful resource.” – Pop Candy, USAToday.com“[A] quirky, funny, intelligent little book … complete with amusing illustrations. Little has packed her work chock-full of the world’s tantalizing linguistic nuggets.” – Newsday"It's clear that Elizabeth Little's omnivorous curiosity has suited her well... This short, neon-colored book walks readers through categories that on paper should seem dry, from pronouns to numbers, spicing everything up with cultural comparisons.” - The Newark Star-Ledger"[A] feisty romp through the world's languages.” - Rob Kyff, The Word Guy “Witty, sassy, and laugh-out-loud funny. Little convincingly demonstrates that, as she puts it, 'language is nothing less than a great adventure.' So is her book.” – Kitty Burns Florey, author of Sister Bernadette’s Barking Dog "If you like language, you'll love Biting the Wax Tadpole. Elizabeth Little has mused on, used, and even misused many of the planet's languages, and this fascinating and often hilarious book gives a full account of her adventures.” – Ben Greenman, author of A Circle is a Balloon and Compass Both and Superbad In a decidedly unstuffy look at the staid world of languages, Elizabeth Little uses her favorite examples from languages dead, difficult, and just plain made-up to reveal how language study is the ticket to traveling the world without leaving the comforts of home. Little’s exploration of “word travel” includes Shona, a language lacking distinct words for “blue” or “green,” why Icelandic speakers must decide if the numbers 1-4 are plural, which language is the only one lacking verbs, and just what, exactly, the Swedish names of IKEA products mean.... |
