is the dog a full breed? Just curious because 55lbs is a tiny GSD. Also sounds like there wasn't enough training. You say she's always had issues with training, but that really just means there wasn't enough time spent finding the right technique. woah..wait.. what you spent money on training? there's your problem right there. you have to train the dogs yourselves. sure it helps to get some guidance, but if someone else trains them, they are learning and trusting that person not you or your ex..so naturally, what happens when that person is gone? they just go back to doing whatever they want.
:shrug: best of luck to you and the dog..
I'm gonna stop this threadjack now
