i have this dog that likes to bite people and run way what do i do ???????????????

Question

please help me

Answer 1

For the love of god, do not put it to sleep!

Or listen to the people recommending hitting it. Hitting is a great way to reinforce that force is the way to lead a pack.

Go to the site listed, and read the agression articles.

Answer 2

There is not enough information here to give a proper recommendation. age and breed play a factor in this. Is it a joke the dog is playing? when he is running away is he laughing?? (they do have a sense of humor you know!) I had a rottie that would go up and urinate on dogs that were behind fences barking at him he thought it was a riot... as well as dogs that were not behind fences... and he also thought it great fun to pee on men that were trying to court me at the time (he's long gone now but he actually bit my current husband) I still laugh when I think about it.. where does he bit? a particular place or just anywhere.. I have a pit bull now that loves giving my son a little nip in the buttocks for a joke. It is never to hurt just make him jump and squeal. He has a huge smile on his face.. (my son is 12 and no harm is being done its' just "pack play") and my son started it by playing practical jokes on Stout (the dog) jumping out of nowhere to scare him to death when he was a puppy...payback is you know what! However if this is not the joking I have described then working on behavior modification might help.. again.. age? and breed? breed matters because of whether or not the dog is a dominant dog or a submissive dog.

Answer 3

Why is your dog loose/able to run away, if you know it will bite people? You need to keep it inside or find it a better home, or you'll be looking at the dog hurting or killing a child someday.

If it's a puppy and he's just nipping, that's a different question but you still need to be sure the dog is not running loose. Highly recommend obedience training so that it will get used to being around other people.

Answer 4

You don't say how serious the bites are (playful, obnoxious, fearful, aggressive, breaking skin or not, family or strangers, etc) but the very first thing is to stop letting your dog be in a position where he can do this. Keep him on a leash in the house, out of the house, or anywhere at all he can possibly do this behavior. If he does bite, don't allow him to simply take off. As his leader, you need to be in control of him, and if he has repeated this behavior a number of times, controlling him means that you physically prevent him from doing it. If he's scared, be careful not to force him into situations that frighten him.

That's just to manage it, not to cure it. Please call a trainer for advice on how to work with him on this. Strangers on the Internet can not give you the kind of advice you need based on a one sentence question.

Answer 5

What type of dog is it? I have found through the many dogs I have had the best way is flick them on the nose and tell them no in a stern voice.

Answer 6

Why would you keep an aggressive dog? Get rid of it before it becomes a real problem. It will only get worse as the dog gets older.

Answer 7

I need more information-age-breed, etc. My initial recomendation would be to put him on a leash so he can't get to people or run away.

Answer 8

This is a huge liability, and you may want to seriously consider putting the animal to sleep. You wouldn't want it to really hurt anyone - would you?

Answer 9

maybe you should try spanking the dog or use loud verbal commands letting the dog know you do not want it to do that

Answer 10

Muzzle?
