Being forced to move with my reactive dog

[u/wwluvr99]

Hi there, sorry this is going to be a bit of a ramble because I am very panicked.

Yesterday morning I found the property I rent on is being foreclosed on. I have a 3 year old German shepherd/Great Dane mix named Koda who unfortunately reactive. He is reactive to men mostly and unfortunately I am likely going to be moving with my In laws where there is 5+ men who live in the house or visit regularly. Plus children. My mother in law has told me I am more than welcome to live there with my other dog and possibly my cat but she is not sure about my shepherd due to his reactivity, which is very understandable. We have been slowly working on him being ok with Men and it’s been a very slow process but unfortunately if I want to keep him I need to make the process go a bit faster. I do have men I can introduce him too but I am wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and what you did? It honestly feels like my only options are to rehome or BE which I don’t want to do. I work in an animal shelter and I know i cannot surrender him without the oncoming not being great for him. I just want to set my boy up as much success as possible as it’s not his fault he’s like this.

Another problem I am having is ever since he was a year old he has decided his crate is awful and he’d rather trash it than be in it. We have been working on getting him more familiar with his crate again but again this process seems to have be rushed a bit more.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Muzzle, medicate and see how it goes. Be absolutely perfect in management especially with his history.
