As you know I recently rehomed a boxer, Oscar, 3, male, neutered. He's
fine with me, has reached a truce with the cats and is great with people
when they come to the house. I don't know what happened to him before,
but he gets very scared when drunk people approach him, sometimes
cowering down, sometimes growling at them. When he sees another dog,
it's like he loses the plot and tries to kill it. I had him at the park
today, it was very quiet, so I let him off the lead to run about a bit.
I was just finishing a plastic bottle of coke to let him chase the empty
bottle when a springer spaniel appeared with its owner and another dog.
It was like a switch flipped in Oscar's brain, and he charged at this
poor spaniel and hit it like a freight train, knocking it flying before
pinning it down to the ground and attempting to savage it. The other
dog's owner pulled Oscar off his dog and I quickly put his lead back on,
apologising to the guy as I did so. There were no injuries, but the poor
spaniel must've got a hell of a fright. When I saw the spaniel and
Oscar's reaction, I shouted on him to come to me, but he was oblivious to
my presence. Afterwards I swear he looked positively pleased with
himself, strutting alongside me as if he was saying "I showed that
spaniel who's the man around here"
From this behaviour, I'd imagine he's not been socialised with other
dogs very much. He tried to fight with a dogue de bordeaux a few days
ago. This dog was at least twice his weight, but Oscar was determined to
have a go.
Aside from this, he's a lovely gentle big lump of a dog who's no trouble
whatsoever, I leave him alone with the cats during the day and they all
seem to co-habit with no issues.
According to this group, you're the one with the problem, and you should
change to adapt to the ways of this psycho mutt. Hope he never gets
pissed at some human for some reason. Like an eight year old in a clown
suit, or a screaming toddler. Reevaluate your liability insurance. Wait
till you do something that really pisses him off. Carry a pocket first
aid kit, and tourniquet material at all times. You're the crazy one, not
the dog.
