I am going to look into more training with her and the shock is only a temporary situation until I can depend on her to respond to my commands. I am however really sick of feeling attacked on here  I was really upset that my baby had bit me and wanted some reassuring words.... Not a lecture on how I'm a terrible doggy mom for doing this. |
Oh no, I don't want you to feel this way. I have been in your shoes and it was much worse than what you went through. I went through the guilt and the fear as well, are you kidding I was terrified and broken hearted. We can't predict everything and when it comes to animals there is no way to know when these things will happen.
I know you don't trust him and quite frankly I don't blame you...but theres got to be a better way, a professional needs to be involved. I don't know if money is an issue but you could contact the local spca or even the local German Shepherd Rescue and ask them for guidance, I'd think they would want to help?
Please don't take him to the park until you feel more confident, it will get better, I don't think your a bad Doggie Momma!
