Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tessa is a 5 yr old Golden Retriever. She loves walks and roaming our yard, but shes content to lay around binging Netflix. Shes crate trained but happy to sleep on the bed or sofa. She is a well-trained sweetheart who prefers humans to dogs, but we are rehoming her because of behavioral issues. Weve done years of training with her, including board and train. Shes on prescription meds to reduce her aggression, and shes made huge strides since we got her. She is mostly afraid of our cats, and is fine to live with other cats. Weve seen her be aggressive with our other dogs when food or treats are in sight. Tessa can go weeks or months without any aggressive behaviors, especially when shes not living with dog and children stressors. Before having kids, Tessa is the sort of dog that we would have loved to train and work with. If youre an experienced dog owner looking for a buddy who needs some extra TLC but will be your BFF for life, this might be your dog!
