I think, but am not sure, it may be my fault. When They first met I did the "get em boy" while play slapping so Quincy would protect me. Well, I think Quincy has took this to hart. Justin doesn't help matter's either. He kick's at him,( mostly to defend himself ) and kick's his crate while he's in it, and yell's at him. He does everything he can to aggravate him.
I told Justin that Quincy was just a dumb animal, and didn't know any better, and it was up to him to make up. Justin swear's he has never really kicked , or hurt him. But Quincy just attack's. When ever Justin would aggrivate him, I would make him leave.
Now for the bigger problem. Justin is moving in with me. I told him he was going to make up with the dog, or he was not welcome in my home. The only thing now is, I told Quincy he had to make up too, but he just refuse's.
I'm really open for suggestion's here. Thank's, Cal |
If your son is behaving in this manner, the dog will end up having to be put down. I would place the dog in a more suitable home asap. ONe without a young male in it as Quincy is going to react this way if he meets a young male that even remotely resembles your son.
Unfortunately, wtih the experience Quincy has had, it will be very difficult to turn him around now in your home and especially if your son is moving in. Damage is done, and I would trust Quincy to perhaps come around but I would not trust your son to not aggravate him especially when you are not home.
YOur son is 21, not sure why it is necessary to move home, he is an adult. But if you insist he can move in, the dog must move out or it can cost him his life one day. YOu cannot have a dog in a home where he is upset and has the potential to be tormented.
NO ONE comes through my front door if they are going to mess with my dogs.
My neices and nephew used to when my brother and his family visited my folks and I visited at the same time.
I merely stopped visiting my folks when my brother was there with his family.
I would protect my dogs with my life and if that means family members don't come through my front door, then so be it.
