Radar, who's a chihuahua mix who is reactive towards cats, occasionally other dogs and toddlers. We're having a baby in June and really need to rehome Radar. He's extremely sweet and well mannered in familiar situations and one on one with my wife and I. We just can't bring a baby into the home with the unpredictability of his reactions.
He used to be best friends with our cat but one day something just triggered and he's never been the same since, we have no idea of what could've caused the behavior change and haven't been able to get his old behavior back in the last 18 months or so. He's only four years old and could probably benefit from more training and time than we can truly provide him.
