This is a heartbreaking time for her family as she has been a part of the family for 6 years, after adopting her from a local shelter. She has been designated as a Potentially Dangerous Dog in Howard County, Maryland after an incident with a neighbor's dog: We recently moved into a new house. The backyard was clear but a neighbor brought their dog to the edge of our property. The neighbor's dog made the initial lunge and attacked my dogs. There was a fight that was promptly broken up by myself. My dogs received puncture wounds as well as the other dog. The neighbors called animal control. My dogs received a "Potentially Dangerous" declaration from Howard County even though the neighbor's dog initiated the attack and may have initiated it on my property. She has lived in a home with a 3 year old child. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and she is house-trained and crate-trained. Coda is further described by her current family as: Couch potato Playful Likes to be touched Affectionate Indoor dog Outdoor dog House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women When unattended she stays: In our house or if we are home she enjoys being outsie in our fenced backyard. Dislikes: Thunderstorms but only if she sees our other dog nervous. On her own she's ok. Also: Coda has received weeks of specialized obedience training from Dog House Girls in Baltimore. She knows commands, "come", "sit", "place" (for staying in one place until called". History with dogs: She tends to be territorial and will bark at them.
