I agree. If you know he bites, you definitely should not have let that child even attempt to pet your dog. I suggest not taking him with you when you go on outings unless it is to the vet. It sounds like your dog is completely strung out and a nervous wreck when out in public. You know he bites, so the best thing is to prevent the situation. From now on, when someone asks to pet him, instead of saying "he bites so try this first", you should just simply state "I'm sorry, but I can't let you. He has been known to bite and I don't want to be responsible if you he chooses to bite you. Thank you for taking an interest in my dog though."
I don't mean to sound harsh or anything, but one thing i can not stand is when an owner knows their dog bites but allows it to be put in a situation where it can bite again. That's irresponsible in my opinion. And if you are really that frustrated with the biting, then stop putting him in that situation. |
