Sharon,
I was not directly saying that Rayna is wrong. In this specific situation, I do agree that the dog should be expertly evaluated to see if he is even stable enough to remain in the household. But, Rayna gave her advice in a way that seemed completely out of context, seeing as how it was not directly helping Amber with the situation. 
I'm no idiot. I know an unstable dog when I see or even hear about one, having dealt with a few myself. I was playing devil's advocate because it was pointless for Rayna to tell her to fix the dog considering she did not believe it would help resolve her aggression problem,  which was the main issue at hand. 

Considering the fact that fixing the dog will most likely not help the situation as I think this dog truly does have more than just a pushy attitude, there is no reason to say once again that the dog should he fixed. If it won't help the situation, why pay the money and go through the process? I understand she does have an appointment and I will by no means convince her out of it, but if she were not planning on it already, I would have a different opinion of what to do with the dog, after a behavioralist reinforces my idea of what is actually going on with the dog. Having dealt with an unstable dog, and knowing exactly what kind of problems a dog like that can cause, I know that fixing a dog that is  unstable will not help the aggression.

On some level, I somewhat agree with Rayna, but having assessed the situation from the information I have been given, I would not recommend spending the money on fixing the dog. It won't help.

Regards,
Jessica
