In the past 2 weeks, our dog has bitten one of difficult child's friends on the arm, for no reason at all. Then tonite, she bit difficult child on his foot, breaking the skin.
She is a japanese spitz, about 3 years old, she has been fixed (that didn't change anything). We cannot have anyone over at our house because she barks constantly at them and then tries to bite them.
I have thought about taking her to a trainer, but can they really change an aggressive dogs ways? I mean she is totally not provoked in these situations!
I love the dog whisperer, and so i looked on his website and he says that most dogs are aggressive because they don't get enough excersize. So I have been walking her for the past 10 days every single day, for about 30 minutes...and no change..she still tries to go after our neighbors when they are in their own yard, the other day on our walk, a police car drove by kinda slow and she went nuts.
How can I keep a dog that is hurting people? That is just not right. And one day it could get very ugly, thankfully the kids that she has bitten (she also bit another of difficult children friends about 6 months ago, just ran up behind him and bit him on the back of his leg)..there parents are "ok" about things. Oh and yes she has had all of her rabies shots and other vaccinations.
I feel like the right thing to do is to take her to the pound, it will hurt emensly, but I feel like it is what I should do to protect my family and so i can invite people into my home. I just talked to husband about it and he doesn't want me to do it he wants to find someone to work with her. I just feel like its hopeless...its the way she is.
