Having your dog attack you is one of the scariest things that may happen to you. A typical example of Scottie's misdirected hostility is still fresh in my mind: the day he nailed me with his paw. A new Labrador had entered the room, and he had shown no mercy on the Scottish terrier. When I caressed him on the back to distract him, he turned around and snarled at my palm with his enormous Scottish terrier fangs.

Most dog attacks occur in the owner's house, despite the harrowing accounts of Pitbull's attacking youngsters as they go to school. It’s not uncommon for a dog's bite victims to be friends or family members of the owner. Kenneth Phillips, an attorney who specializes in dog bite cases, says that 61 percent of dog attacks occur at home or in a familiar location and that, 77 percent of dog bite victims are family members or acquaintances. Errant stray dogs are responsible for a tiny fraction of bites. As a result, the majority of dog attacks result in the owner feeling betrayed by his faithful canine companion and questioning if he can ever trust him again.

 

 

Why Would Your Dog Want To Bite Your Boy Friend?

Why did your adorable dog attack you so viciously? In different conditions, all dogs are capable of biting. However, for dogs, biting is a natural, typical way to express themselves and defend themselves. That our dogs do not attack us more often is a bit of a surprise!

Stress, which may originate from a multitude of causes, is the most common cause of aggression and biting. It takes a lot of stress to for a dog to bite, since certain breeds have very high bite thresholds. A little amount of enticement is all it takes for some people to give in and bite. In the case of little children, a dog with a high bite threshold could seem like the greatest option. Although this is often the case, even a high-threshold dog may attack a youngster if the noise and activity of the children is too much for the dog to handle. Alternatively, a dog with a low bite threshold may be an excellent family pet provided children are not one of his stressors and he is maintained in an environment free of the things that stress him out.

 

 

A stressor is anything that causes the dog distress, including pain, fear, worry, or arousal. Terrified dogs will try to flee but if they can't escape, they'll bite out of panic. If a mother dog and her puppies are intruded upon, she may feel intimidated and bite. Biting occurs when a resource-guardian feels threatened (offended) that a human could steal one of his possessions. The dog's tension is relieved by the bite, which is why a dog may bite and then seem OK the next moment. When the resource-guarder bites, the person (usually) retreats, and the dog is absolutely calm and happy again since the danger to his food dish has been removed. The wounds on the human victim's skin tend to heal faster than the rift between canine and human. In fact, the vast majority of dog bites are justifiable, if only from the dog's point of view, but are frequently misinterpreted by humans.

Dogs' behavior, not trust, is what we should focus on learning more about as humans. Many dogs bite because their owners do not know how to reduce their dogs' tension and prevent them from repeating the behavior.

1. To Prevent Him From Ever Biting Again, You Must Control His Behavior.

 Even though it is a challenge, this is achievable. To put it another way, it implies severely confining his mobility so that he is only able to interact with adult members of his family. If there will be guests, the dog will be confined in a separate room. A kennel that can properly manage a biting dog is used when the grandchildren come to visit. It is not enough that he likes the grandchildren; the fact that he has bitten them puts their safety at danger. You cannot take the risk unless you are quite certain that you know his stresses and can avoid them from arising during the kids' stay.

 To be fair, if you choose this option, you'll have to give up a lot of your dog's favorite pastimes, such as going for walks, whether on or off-leash, at the park, or taking him for car trips.

 

2. As Part Of A Thorough Behavior Modification Program, Manage His Behavior To Keep Him From Biting You. This Is A Significant Undertaking That Demands A Lot Of Time And Effort.

 You may be able to handle this on your own if your dog's behavior is relatively new and modest.

 The majority of business owners, on the other hand, need the (often-expensive) assistance of a skilled positive behavior counselor or behaviorist in order to be successful. Using desensitization and counter-conditioning, the behaviorist may teach your dog that the "bad" things he presently views as "bad" (stressors) are really "good." Instead of stressing him out, they will not push him over the edge and he will stop biting.

 This is not something that just happens. Aggressive behavior might take longer to correct the longer it has been ingrained in your dog's system of thought. More time and effort you put into reprogramming him will lead to a speedier and more successful outcome. It is not allowed to let him roam around the backyard or go on walks when there are guests or grandchildren around, therefore he must be crated or kenneled.

 

3. A New Owner Who Is Willing And Able To Perform One Of The First Two Options Should Take Him In.

 It’s a long shot to rehome a dog that attacks. Some dogs that have bitten may be accepted into training program for government drug or bomb-sniffing dogs or as police K9 units, depending on the circumstances of the bite and the overall temperament of the dog. As far as you are concerned, the typical adoption home is no more suited than you to handle a biting dog are. To put it another way, most rescue organizations and shelters will not accept dogs with a history of biting, and those that would will commonly euthanize these dogs instead.

 It is possible that the dog will end up in the hands of a person who will harshly punish him for biting, or otherwise mistreat him. Even if the dog does major harm to someone in his new home, you may still be held liable, morally or legally.

 Numerous dogs are available for adoption that has never been in a biting situation. You are attempting to find a new home for your dog since you love him so much. What are your odds of finding a person who is prepared to incur the danger of taking a biting dog into their home?

4. Arrange For The Dog's Death.

 This is never a good thing to come out of this situation. It is important, though, to consider this dog's quality of life before making a decision. How happy will he be if you can just control his conduct and keep him out of the things he enjoys? The new place you locate for him can you ensure will be a good one? Will a dog retaliate if he is bitten?

 The greatest option is to manage and alter your situation while still maintaining your own and his. It's also important to keep in mind that aggressiveness is triggered by stress and that tension isn't fun to be in. If you can't control and adjust the dog's behavior and he's at danger of biting others, he can't be having a very pleasurable existence. You can't do that, can you? Regardless of how painful the choice may be, it may be in everyone's best interest to make it, even your dog.

 The worst thing you can do is shut your eyes and hope he does not bite you again. In addition to safeguarding your loved ones, you are also responsible for ensuring the safety of your neighbors. The more you deny, the more you'll be bitten.

This Is The Worst Things To Do If Your Dog Bite Your Boyfriend.

When it comes to dealing with a dog that's prone to biting, owners who aren't well-informed tend to adopt the most risky course of action. In the event of a dog bite, many individuals resort to physically and sometimes harshly punishing the dog. If your dog shows any signs of hostility, you may want to use this technique right away. Warning growls are addressed with severe verbal reproaches and leash-jerks, followed by more drastic methods like hanging or helicoptering. Some dogs may respond well to this strategy, while others will intensify their resistance, resulting in significant injury or even death for both the dog and the trainer. If a dog bites, you should not punish it.

A side effect of this approach is that it may educate the dog to never offer a warning before biting. In the end, it does not do much to alleviate the dog's anxieties or worries. To the contrary, the dog's stress levels are exacerbated since he now identifies the stressor with a violent beating in addition to his other bad emotions.

Consider the case of a dog that does not get along well with young children. He growls when a youngster approaches, letting us know (and the child) that he is bothered by their presence. We jerk his leash to get his attention and instruct him to stop. So we punish him much more, until he finally gives up and bows to our authority. This has the unfortunate side effect of making the dog less comfortable near youngsters since it has learnt that growling is no longer an option. Instead of snarling to scare her away, this dog will attack a youngster the next time he sees one since he has learnt that growling makes humans seem dangerous. Despite our efforts, we have not made him feel any better about being around youngsters.

A nice snarl is always welcome. It alerts us to the fact that our dog is on the verge of biting, which provides us the time to locate and eliminate the source of stress in his life. In order to avoid the ultimate offence, our dog's last-ditch effort is to snarl and air-snap in order to scare away the stressor, before he is compelled to really bite.

If your dog routinely growls or snaps, you should take note. He is telling you that many things are stressing him out and that he's about to snap. If you do not do anything, he will probably bite you eventually. If your dog attacks a kid, what will you do? As a rule, if a dog bites, it dies quickly.

 

Is It Possible To Stop A Dog That Bites, And Rehab Him To Be Nice Again? 

The good news is that just a small percentage of pets cannot be saved. If you put your heart and soul into making your dog feels more at ease in the world, you are likely to succeed. Your understanding of his behavior in the past as well as your ability to avoid his anxieties at this time will help you persuade him that what he sees as bad is beneficial.

Even though your dog's capable canines bit you, it was not a personal attack, but rather a byproduct of a chain reaction that your dog could not control. How wonderful for you and him to be able to take him out in public confidently, knowing that he is secure in the face of everything that is out there.
