He has actually bitten my son, its almost like he takes on a new personality. Daisy just sits and barks. Now, as soon as I start to raise my voice, Diesel starts barking and my son jumps on his bed. Altho, my son is exactly where I want him. i dont want Diesel biting him.
I am planning on talking to the vet about it, but thought since the subject was brought up, I would take suggestions. I prefer helpful suggestions, I dont want to be persecuted for this post. I am asking for help. |
i would firmly tell Diesel NO when he does this and tell your son not to jump on the bed. It shows them that he is scared of him. They feel more power when you are scared of them. The dogs pick up on your anger and will react on it if you don't put a stop to it. When Gus is barking at someone I just clap my hands and tell him, it's ok and stop it. He will sometimes stop and if he doesnt, I will tell him to go lay down. He knews he's doing wrong when he is sent to his bed. It takes a lot of work to break them out of bad habbits but it can be done. I wish all the luck in the world.
I know some are persecuted for asking a simple question. That's the only down fall of this site or any site for that matter. But most are willing to give a helping hand and give good advise. It's hard to turn the other cheek when someone acks up (believe me I know) but but you have to put that aside and see all the wonderful people who really want to help and do care. This is a wonderful site to learn!
