I was in the house and the dog had trashed my sisters room right and he is a big dog and has bitten before. Most of the time he is playfull and a nice dog until you give him food and then you cant go near him. Well there was no food and he was the other side of the room. I bent down and picked up a bottle of perfume that was on the floor but before I had even stood up the dog had bitten me hard. Right through my bloody shoe and into my toes that was a few days ago and my toe isnt that bad but it has got a bit of puss coming out of it. But my question is how could you ever trust a dog like that ?

 

 

My concern is my kids if they went in there and picked something up that he didn't want them to that would be it. Now he is a big dog and is about 5'10" when stood on his back legs. There is no way myself or anybody could stop him doing anything he wanted to do. Now my kids aren't aloud in the house and my sister is offended but what can I do ? :(

Your sister should have a good think mate!! How would she ever look you in the eye if god forbid her dog harmed your children. She needs to get her dog to a trainer to see what can be done but you're doing the right thing by protecting yor family - forget what she thinks!!!! :)

yeah you're totally right and she should really understand.

Untill the dogs had some training I wouldn't be taking children there. The dog needs socializing and needs to know what it can and cann't do. How old is it? Did it growl or was it just over excited and thought it a game and just hasn't learnt not to bite hold of people yet.

 

Best stay clear untill it's learnt a few doggy manners mate, don't want any bad accidents.

same as above really. and get a muzzle for the thing just in case there are children/strangers around the place. how long has she had it cos it should have settled in and got used to the daily routine by now.

i had to mussle my old dog as it didnt like other dogs but it still did a fair bit of dameage to another dog with it on so i had no choice really but to have the dog put down as i could never trudt it really and i had young kids so i totally agree with you matey your kids come first and as a parent you do anything to keep them out of harms way and by the sound of it if the dog bit you it wouldnt think twice about a kid so you have done the right thing for sure

You're right to put your kids first.

 

Everyone with a dangerous dog says: "ohh, he's lovely, he wouldn't hurt anyone". Then they bite a babies face off.

Im suprised its still living bud, id have killed it there and then, dont get me wrong i like animals but if it puts people at risk ESP children, then it deserves to be put down .. we all have a dead animal of such in our fridges or freezers .. do i dont see why killing a dog is any different .. but dont stick it in the fridge LOL ... sorry bud but if youre sister cant see the concern you have about the dog and ur children .. then its her problem .. not yours .. youre only doing what any decent father would do .. well done!!

 

John

your right dont let your kids no where near that dog if he bit through your shoe and still made you bleed or what ever it did, imagine if he had got one of your kid's arm or leg. sorry to say it like that but thats what i would be thinking if it was me

Tazer the mutt the next time he stares at you - that'll show him who's boss.

exactly as eileen says the dog needs training and socializing. Its becoming possesive, it thinks its the pack leader. people look at dogs as a pet and forget they are just domesticated wild animals and still posses their wild animal instincts, which have to be supressed by training. To train a dog you have to understand dog behavier they are pack animals and its instinct for them to try to be the top dog of the pack, which they associate the family as the pack. People think its cruel dissaplining a dog, making it go to its bed or feeding it after you've eaten, its not its how they behave in a pack, its also instinct for the dog to accept being the under dog which is how you want the dog to think so it can be controlled. :)

The dog is nearly 2 I believe and has bitten its owner in the past leaving him needing stitches before biting Paul.

The kids arent allowed anywhere near him now as Im afraid Im not willing to take that risk. The scary thing is if he went for one of the kids there is not one person who would actually be able to get him off without being severely injured themselves.

Worrying really.

And I'm not being funny, people like that really shouldn't have a dog. I've had 2 German Shepherds who I trust but I will ALWAYS put other people and their safety first! There's a responsibilty to owning a dog and they are not being responsible for that dog, the sad thing is without training, that dog should be put down and I don't say that very lightly as I love dogs :(

 

You're doing the right thing! ;)

 

Vijay

Get your sister some training as well, not trying to be funny its as much the owners fault if not more so than the dogs, little things like not stepping over the dog in a doorway but making it move for you puts it in its place as a submissive beast. Now that doesn't mean you have to be cruel but dominant then the dog will respect you and do as you tell it to, I used to growl back at my dog when he was growing up and trying to assert himself and he was well mannered and passive, he was a labradore :p but hey even they can be agressive.

 

Put your kids first above anything, I wouldn't say put the dog down but if it can't be controlled or looked after as it should then get rid to someone that can do the the job.

Exactly irresponsible dog owners are what give dogs a bad name. A dog will do what comes natural to it if given the chance.

 

When i was married we had 2 German shepherds which we took to training classes every week and kept the training up during the week too. The end result was 2 lovely HAPPY well behaved dogs we could walk down the road with without a lead, they would walk by our side, wouldnt move unless we would move stio and sit when we stopped, bark when we told em to etc. The kids cpuld take anything out their mouths. The most rewarding part was the nice remarks we got from everyone including the police, commenting how nice the dogs where and well behaved, makes you feel proud, above all it makes a happy dog, never needed to tell them off. And its all to do with understanding dog behavier

what breed of dog is he? wolf :shock:

i had 2 japanese akita's both were perfect with my kids and my misses and everyone else who were friendly, the male on the other hand bit me once on my arm and used to get cocky with me quite often and was not trained at all.

i spoke to a man who i used to see walking 2 rottwiellers and he sed his male was the same and reccomended 3 x 2 piece of wood and to lift the dog by his lead..he used the word "hang" and to give the dog a gd whack :shock:

i wasnt going to do this as i thort its cruel and eventualy went to a police dog trainer. he said give me 2 weeks and you'll get a well behaved dog back that no's you are the boss! he showed me demonstrations of his security dogs and i was impressed he even said if your not happy when you get your dog back you dont need to pay me. 2 weeks later i went to collect my dog, he was a changed dog! the trainer then had to train me and make me the pack leader :shock: i was tld to give the trainer some stick and wrestle him to the floor and act like im giving him a good hiding...the dog was tied up while the "training" was carried out...he was going mental! when we finished i was told to approach my dog and atemp to touch him so i did and my dog growled at me. the trainer then ran of into his house and i walked in after him, i went back the next day and the same act was acted out, this happened for 5 days and on the 5th day my dog just sat there submissivly and let me stroke him..i was now the boss and the dog was fully under my control i said sit and he sat, put a treat on the floor and he wouldnt touch it until i said eat :cool: i asked him how he did it and he said training (with the trainer in body armour) and the dog needed to be "hanged" afew times...i didnt ask any questions about hanging i just paid him £500 and went, for another £500 i could have had the dog attack trained.

apparantly hanging is common practice with police and security dogs :rolleyes:

Hanged....noway that wont put a dog in submission? You have to pin it down untill it stops struggling, then it will lay belly up which is a dogs submisive gesture, then once it has submitted it knows your are the boss then you can train it. I know this as i seen it happen with the dog of the 2 shepherds we had the trainer done this because i couldnt teach him anything at first, but once he done that he could easily be trained

Do you think this would this work with my wife? :wack:

the hanging or the lump of 3x2 :rofl:

carls got a zed, i honestly dont no, i've heard it mentioned afew times even some police dog handler got done for "hanging" his dog and giving it a good kneeing in the ribs. what ever the trainer did with my dog worked and japanese akita's are very hard to train.

 

craig david, i dont no if it works with women haha, i was lucky my wife hadnt had any owners before me and i trained her very well from the start. as long as i provide food, shelter and a good loving life for her and the kids i can buy as many cars as i want..she's even on talking terms with t mistress...1 day they will be friends :dance:

Hanging and 3 x 2 on a dog! That's just cruel. We have a 4 year old Rottweiler and have had him since he was a pup. At no time have we ever even so much as smacked our dog and he is wonderful, well behaved and loving. Makki's right that you have to show them that you are the pack leader, but it can be achieved in other ways.

 

Our kids used to feed the dog, but only after they had eaten their dinner. He had to wait until we had greeted each other before him. Simple things to show that he is not the pack leader - we were. It quickly taught him that he is at the bottom of the chain. Rotti's can be very pig headed and will 'try it on' if you let them. All we did, and still do sometimes, was use our voice (different tones). Its exactly the same with a dog pack, the leader will bark and snap, and will bite only on very very rare occasions.

 

Dogs crave attention (positive and negative) so denying them it works wonders. I do agree that keeping your kids away from this dog is a good idea and you shouldn't worry about what they think. It needs training!

Its a male malamute (might be spelt wrong lol)

Huge Thing

 

its not the dog that needs training most the time its the owner - there are almost no bad dogs - only badly brought up ones

......gets off soap box

itsa wolf not a dog, youy could train it as much as you like but it willalways be on the lookout to strike (thats why they aint good as pets)

 

anything to do with a dogs neck is god for training, if you watch wild dogs playing they bite each others neck till the other stops struggling, thats why dog handlers use choke chains instead of leaders, my dad has trained greyhounds for years and they always try to bite you when you are rubbing them down or cutting their nails and so on, a good old choke and a clip on the nose really works

 

but again if its a wolf i would never trust it as it sounds very domineering and would not take too lightly to training
