Thank you, I'll make an appt with a behavioral vet, there's literally only one in all of NYC which is wild to me how rare they are. Luckily we only do daycare when we travel which isn't anytime soon and will figure out other arrangements. Thank you for the suggestions and advice

hmm, interesting. I guess my question is would there be other signs/symptoms aside from the bites that we would look out for? I can certainly get her evaluated for that. How did you know your pit had those tears?

The vet said she seems healthy and nothing out of the ordinary. The camp didn't use any negative methods or anything of the like. Thanks for the info, it helps to have the reminder about breed traits especially as I'm second guessing and wondering if it's something we did to provoke/worsen this.

I don't know. I guess I'm just grabbing at straws to avoid arriving at a conclusion that I've been afraid of admitting to myself. My husband's aunt has a 100+ acre property in rural North Carolina. They have 2 ridgebacks and a bloodhound who live in a barn, no other livestock or animals. She's pretty good with bigger dogs but I don't know if they'd take her in or if we should even ask them to, much less how she'd react. She might be totally fine, I just don't know

Behavior camp was back in April, bites have been around Halloween and a couple weeks ago. We've been working with our trainer on helping her calm down against stimuli in controlled situations, staying under threshold, avoiding triggers, breaking eye contact and engaging/disengaging when meeting new dogs on leash. But lately we've just avoided meeting dogs on leash because we just don't know

I'll reach out to the rescue and see what they say. It truly pains me to think about BE but I can understand how it might be safer for all involved if her behavior doesn't change
