6pack 60 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 firstly, i have known and owned a 'hard terrier'. im sorry mate but a dog should be brought up to no where it is in the pack i.e your family. all to many times iv seen people slap a dog to no affect. if you had brought that terrier up to no that even your children where above it in the pecking order then the terrier would never dream of growling. this is fact, you cant argue with it, i know a animal behavioural psychologist. sorry mate but your not the alpha male in your dogs eyes. the dog is. right mate i once owned a dog he wasn't a terrier he was a collie/grey, and this dog went for me when he was 9 month old even though this dog was well socialised as he was a house dog. growing up with 4 kids this dog never growled at any of us after that day until 8 years later and my 5 year old nephew was in the house and the dog turned and bit his face, leaving dreadful scars that dog should have been pts and if i ever have another dog that shows any aggression towards any human it will be pts no questions asked and dont go on about the dog not been trained properly as that is bollox some dogs have got that edge dont learn the way i have as a little lad is scarred for life and i will always feel guilty for not acting sooner Did you question why the dog would act so out of charactor after 8 years?

dwalin 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 personally id never keep a dog that was a risk. id have it put to sleep i would not re home as that may run the risk of the dog being moved on again to a home with children and in my veiw that wouldent be worth the risk. however id also never leave child with a dog unattended ever. our dogs are kenneled outside,and have time with the kids supervised only. some dogs are a risk and there no reason why. some because they are not trained /looked after properly.

ferret boy charlie 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Why if it was a GSD? Single out the BSL breeds why don't you.... Well mate, yes I agree, something definitely has to be done in that situation. Something like.....REHOMING the dog to a child-free household! There are loads of breed rescues in the UK so you are absolutely spoiled for choice as regards rehoming dogs in the UK! Other than rehoming, you could maybe learn how to deal with an aggressive dog?? Go to leerburg.com and buy their "how to deal with aggressive dogs" DVD?? Much help! The world would be a better place if people decided to learn AT LEAST basic dog behaviour before buying one. Juse because people have grown up with dogs all their lives, dosn't mean they know shit about them! I really didn't until I decided to study it! by the way this is nwhat is happening to me at the moment and the dog has been with us for 11 years and it wouldnt be fair to rehome him in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Dogs that are a threat to kids are a no no, simple as that. At some point they will come into contact with a child and I couldn't forgive myself if something happened. Some dogs can be rehabilitated, some can't but there are millions of nice dogs out there so why have a liability.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a straight forward question really. Did you question why the dog acted so out of character after 8 years? You haven't mentioned anything between the ages of 9 months and 8 years - so the behavior doesn't sound "the norm" . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

victor 10 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 well i do dissagree with saying a dog is shit if it growls at a kid, my dog is 2 years old, he was never ever around babies or todlers, if my auntie comes around with her daughters. cooper is chained up. he's not to be trusted but not to say he isnt trained just too riskey to trai him too them not. you cant teach a old dog new tricks.
