my dog bite my sons friend :eek::eek:My 1 yr old Yorkie bite my son's friend yesterday. He has occasionally growled at people but never biten. He broke the skin. The boys parents did not care. I am lucky there. But I am upset. I can't have a dog biting kids at my home. I have 4 kids and other children here all the time. He has been really testy this past week. If he was female I would think it was her heat..... We have also had to put down our boxer about 3 weeks ago. I am wondering if this has anything to do with it. He was the ALPHA dog in our house lol. What he said went with the other dogs. Could he maybe be trying to take over that position? I have also noticed that he tries to bite when the kids are running. He does get punished for this behaviour. He spent some time in his crate. I held his face and stared him down until he looked away and told him bad. |
Mine eventually stopped the biting thing, I just shouted no really loud when mine did it. Was this a freak, one time thing? Or is it becoming a regular thing? Maybe he was just aggravated with the kids. At any rate, I don't think you want his crate to be associated with punishment...if that's his sleeping place. That should be a happy place. I would definitely find a different punishment. Good luck! Doggie bites hurt. |
In many states a dog bite can lead to euthanasia so you need to take his behavior very seriously. Next time he could bite someone who is not so understanding. Not only could his next bite be his death sentence, you could also face a lawsuit. Too often owners ignore the early warning signs of aggression like being protective of food or toys, growling, etc. until the behavior has escalated to biting. This is not something you can deal with on your own now. You need to consult a professional behaviorist to see if he can be rehabilitated. |
