What should I do??? plz help me

Answer 1

I think he was jealous over bear. So next time he even attempt
to go forcful when playing with you take a stick and spank him, you don't have to beat him just enough to let him know whos boss.......If he ever acts in a violent way towards you even know hes a puppy maybe you will think about locking him into a dog pin........I really hope you get better.

Answer 2

We had a similar situation happen to us when we introduced a new dog into the family. He was fine for the first six weeks and got along with our other dogs. However I noticed he was extremely obsessed with me. One day I caught him peeing in the house and told him 'No'. He growled at me. I usually would not let something like that slide but due to health reasons we were not planning to keep him any longer. So, I let his disobedience slide. Big mistake. A few days later the dog attacked my daughter as she lay watching TV. She did not provoke the attack and we have no idea to this day why he attacked her. When I approached him with a leesh to restrain the attack, he attacked me and bit my on the arm.

We had the animal control officer come and take him to the vets. They had to keep him for 10 days and he was fine the whole time. In the meantime we called the original owner who happened to be the breeder. The breeder is the only person we would consider returning the dog to. She took him back because she wanted to see if there was a medical reason for the aggressiveness. In the meantime she placed him in doggy school. Towards the end of his two week session he suddenly became aggressive with the handler. At the breeders she could not leave him alone with any of the younger dogs as he became to aggressive with them. The breeder finally has placed him with a dog trainer to see if he can be saved, otherwise he is quickly becoming a liability all around. Does not look good for him.

My daughter and I recovered from the bites. We did go to the ER , were treated, and given tetanus shots. We still have our 2 other dogs and they are wonderful.

Sorry this happened to you. It was not your fault. There is something wrong with your dog. You may need to put him to sleep before he hurts someone else. I would never trust him again. If you decide to keep him, he needs intensive re-education by an experienced dog trainer.

Answer 3

I don't tolerate a biting dog. The first thing I teach any new puppy is not to chew of place their mouth over my hand, skin, etc. Any biting, even playful nipping is immediately discouraged.

If one of my grown dogs were to bite me or anyone else, I don't think he would be around any more. You must spend the time and energy to teach your dogs how to behave.

If the other dog is a puppy, the first thing I would do is keep the two separated. I would work with the dog until he understood what proper behavior was.

Answer 4

First off, make sure your dogs are currently separated and the younger one in a safe, secluded location. Then treat your injuries, take a deep breath, and think about the situation that occured and why it did in the first place.

What was Bear doing while you were petting him? Was he staring at Freckles? Standing between you and Freckles? Were his muscles tense?

Do you know the difference between mock fighting/playing and true physical aggression between dogs? When Freckles came over and according to you, began biting Bear, where on Bear's body was he biting? Was he nipping playfully or seriously meaning to cause harm?

With my students, I tell them that if they have two dogs, particularly when one is fairly young, or immature as you put it, I tell them to let the dogs handle their own arguments on their own, within reason. An older, more mature dog will growl, snap, or even nip a younger dog if the latter is overstepping it's boundaries. They know how to take care of themselves. If the second dog is harassing an older dog that is unable to defend itself, or is becoming seriously aggressive, that is where I would step in. But I would never, EVER use physical force against my dog unless it was the last option. That's where you went wrong.

Just for future reference, grab a blanket (or even your shirt) and toss it over, preferably between, the two dogs, focusing on the offender. Make sure his head stays covered, grab his collar or pick him up if he's small enough, put him in an area away from the second dog and walk away calmly. Remain assertive and attentive but do NOT run. Stay in charge.

If your dog ever acts aggresive towards you and is unprovoked (and in this instance, he WAS provoked by you hitting him and then continuing to slap at him), do whatever it takes to keep him away from vital areas of your body, such as your neck. Shove your forearm in his mouth if you need to and yell for help. You can live without an arm for a few weeks if you need stitches or a cast--you can't live with an open jugular. As a previous poster commented, slapping does nothing besides provoke your dog into even more aggression because it's how another dog would play/fight.

As for the current situation with Freckles, you are required to call your local Animal Control center to report the incident, but make sure you explain in full what happened (including the fact that you hit your dog before it touched you). They will most likely require to see your rabies vaccination record, and will possibly put your dog in quarantine for up to 10 days. If you choose, they will euthanize him for you. Howevever, I would be a little hesitant about destroying Freckles outright. He may simply need a home where he is the only dog with a more experienced dog owner.

The choice, obviously, is yours. I think you have your work cut out for you either way.

Answer 5

First of all, you need to take care of your injuries. Go to the ER. Second, at the ER, they will likely take a report on the dog bites. Legally, I think dogs in most states get one free bite so ultimately it's your decision what to do about the situation. I think if you're not committed to getting your dog into a serious training and rehabilitation program, then you have to do the responsible thing and have him put down. Very scary situation and you don't want it to happen again.

Answer 6

Wow that's pretty outrageous! Your dog doesn't see you as a leader at all, but as one of the lower ranking pack members!
You need to contact a good Dog Trainer who knows how to work with agressive dogs. They will be able to evaluate the dog and give you the best course of training for him.
For the time being, I would keep the dog away from you for your protection.
I adoped a dog like that who was used to running the whole family and abusing the children in his home. The first thing he did was to snap at the face of one of my kids..That dog took some serious training to break him of his imagined status as the Pack Leader. He is now a good dog, and gentle. So I know It can be done.

Answer 7

The younger dog is obviously jealous, when a dog bites in an aggressive manner he will bite again. You need to ask yourself if this dog is worth keeping. Has he been neutered? If not ,this sometimes will make him less aggresive. I would get rid of him either way.

Answer 8

Call up Animal Control

This isnt just a dog misbehaving this is a serious act of violence.

Call up 911 if the injury is leaving you in pain

I wont say no more you need to take action now!

Answer 9

Go get that stitched up/looked at by a doctor, and be more forceful with the dog and make sure it's afraid of you. Get a belt and whip it on the behind. Not enough to hurt it, just enough so it makes a loud noise. Or flip it over on it's back and hold it down to assert your dominance. You have to be strong and touch with dogs, especially big scary dogs.

Answer 10

O.K. I'm not trying to be rude, but if you got a bad dog bite, why are you on the computer? Get to the the hospital if this is legit!
