Thanks scs!
I just wish I could do more for him and it seems that he has quite a few issues now.
For some reason the guy I got the dog from {who used to be my trainer} is withholding information about Tek and doesn't want us to have anything to do with the owners whom I met when Tek was released from quarantine.
He initially said "I have no problem with you having full access to them" that has now turned into "I'll be the go between for you and the owners" wth?
I can't understand why he doesn't want me to talk with them to find out more about the dog?
It makes me believe there is more to this dogs history than he told us. I saw him charge them $450.
He said it was for "future training" but now he say's "only if the dog needs it" he needs a lot more than the two days he spent with Tek. $450 is the standard fee for adopting a dog from any shelter type situation here in MA.
This poor boy is so thin and so needy I hate to send him back to this shmuck but I cannot afford to insure him knowing he has a long bite history or something that is going to make keeping him a liability for ..... and I. Tek has attacked Luna a few times over a stick and seemed he was going to make moves on me when I demanded he give me a ball back.
Under these circumstances I told him it wasn't working out today by phone. He said "I'll pick him up tomorrow" and hung up on me. He didn't ask why or even seem to care about the poor boy at all imo. This seems to be monetarily motivated for this guy who has a big mouth and no patience for anyone else's opinions on dogs although he claims to "love Luna" so he trained her for less money........Most folks who've come in contact with him at the dog park I frequent despise this guy and I had been sticking up for him...I feel really foolish now.
What would any of you do in similar circumstances? 
C.B.
I would put a gun to his head (trainer's) and make him confess he is a bad person. Just in case the situation went out of control, and as to protect me and others -in case he knows personal defense, carries a gun himself or similar- I would try to set this within a controlled environment; avoiding eventual risks in case he responded with counter-violence. Meaning: I could have him over for dinner, so we are at home; leave others out of the equation; make sure there are no windows in the room (in case a gun missfired...); have a sniper for back-up; etc. etc. etc.
If he confessed I should be able to determine whether he is "guilty" or just 'playing along' out of fear; Once I had done that:
If he seems to be innocent: I would apologize and offer him a tea (prepaired, of course, with the powder from that "after-rape-pill" which erases your memories, to my advantage);
If, on the contrary, he seems to be guilty, I would have him "home-arrested" and confined to my basement for no longer than a year or two, depending on the confession.
Of course I am from South America and things are very different here, and while this may sound a bit too much, or on the nutty side to you, it may be kind of standard behavior here, as we are, say, a bit wild.
