bitten

yep me too, someimes the best advice is the hardest to take??? but it still needs doing

The dog will bite again. There are too many terriers that would never bite the hand that feeds them, look for one of them and put the biter down.

 

Been there and been twice bitten

sounds like something easily put right to me.

give it to someone who has the time and inclination.. or kennel it.

its a bit harsh to put it to sleep reading that.

I think this may have already been said but the baby is the bottom of the pack and you as alpha will have to defend the baby 24/7 in the dogs mind I don't want to sound harsh but I ran a border collie rescue for 3 years and I can tell you know that once they get it in there heads that they are the big cheese it is very hard to bring them back down to earth. I would have the dog put to sleep and if you want to go forward with another jr then get a puppy when the nipper is born so that you can bring them up together and then the pup will get the crack on the pecking order in your house from day one mate sorry if this has offended you mate but I see this as a way forward for your family anyway what ever you do the best of luck to you and your family and good luck with the baby.

did anyone ever see that lassie that used to do the show about troublesome dogs?? she looked a bit like one of those dominatrix sort of dolls with the leather boots and all that jazz... anywho, the majority of dogs she came across were biters, fighters and the general run of the mill spoiled feckers that didnt know theyre place in the home... she put them right in a short space of time... i dont think she failed with any of them and believe me i'd have shot some of the nasty b*****ds she worked with... i would try one of those sort of people before all else

Yeah I'd hate to be her husband

 

I think their is a lot to be said against keeping terriers in a flat imho.........they have a tendency to get a bit snappy when you dont get them out enough

[dog fox 16]

HELLO KENTLAD , i think 2 dogs in the flat together youngest 16 month old is a recipe for dissaster anyway give it a few months and the lakey should sort the problem out for you ,for 2 dogs together is a big no no and can only end in one thing me persnally would get rid of the russell and get your lakey a bitch ,they should live together with no probs ,for its not worth taking a chance with a new born in the house ,and let your dogs know that they are at the bottom of the pecking order......imo...

Seen it.... it's playing here in the states!...... she's good but the difference between the current dogs owner and her are two different worlds..... yes this can be fixed but it takes know how.......and with a new baby right around the corner, I wouldn't expect the owners to really have the time to commit to changing this dog around..........what if this dog comes across the baby? I'm sorry .... I know it's not the dogs fault, but when the dog has risen to causing physical harm, then he will not be safe to be around in a lot of homes.

I would take it to the vets and have it's nuts chopped off! That takes a bit of the fire out of 'em for sure and will most likely make him much less likely to challenge your dominance. Won't effect his desire to crunch up ratty though.

Sounds as though the dog was in a very stressful situation and it was just too much for him. Don't think it's a shooting offense, at least not this time round. Watch him carefully and act accordingly. If it was an unprovoked attack then I would reccomend the lead injection or a variant of such, but it was a provoking situation.

: or kennel it and give plenty of work ,there is plenty of things out there that will want to bite him back keep it away from the newborn because if it does turn on it it will be the bigest regret of your life

Oh good grief......this is not a hormone issue..... this is a pack leader issue and one this dog may take even if he is neutered...... neutering ONLY makes him sterile, nothing more. The damn dog is in a stressful situation? did you just finish having a tree huggung session? This dog bit both his owners, he needs a boot in has ass! and a muzzle strapped to his face!......
