Yes - get a behaviorist to come into your home and work with you. This is far too serious a problem to deal with over the internet. The growl is a warning. If warnings aren't heeded, the behavior escalates. -- Leah Roberts, Family Dog Trainer It's A Dog's World http://hometown.aol.com/dfrntdrums/m...age/index.html Get Healthy, Build Your Immune System, Lose Weight http://re-vita.net/dfrntdrums |

I would second Leah on finding some professional help. Definitely be on the phone tomorrow. In the meantime, you might want to try to reduce situations which might cause a problem. It's not a solution, but it can help by helping to prevent situations fromescalating too far. If the dog has any toys, bones, treats and such laying around, pick them up. Pick up the child's toys out of reach of the dog. Pick up the food bowl after the dog finishes eating. Be aware of letting the child near area the dog considers 'his' - like an eating area or a sleeping area. Use baby gates to keep the dog and the child separated. And yes, it's advisable to get the dog neutered. Ludwig Smith Dog FAQS http://www.k9web.com/dog-faqs/ rec.pets.dogs.info |

See a psychiatrist to ask why you are allowing this situation to continue? Neutering - because you sure don't need to be breeding that temperament. Placement with Rotti rescue, wh may or may not be able to place him. TRAINING - have you ever done any? Right now, your first job is to keep that baby safe. Do whatever is necessary to do so. -- Janet B www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

Please place the dog with a rescue group. Your baby is in danger. It
sounds like a very scary situation. I wouldn't care how much training the dog gets, I would still be afraid to have him share the same space as my baby. My ex had a Doberman who almost took my sons face off when he was a child. I have a Labrador who is wonderful with my grandson. He uses her as a pillow and rubs his little face in her fur.

What's your conclusion from this? Is it bad vs. good training or bad vs. good breed/dog? -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I think with this particular dog it was bad vs. good training.

It's Only Alimentary, Dear Watson wrote: Praising BAD Behaviors Is GOOD - The Fastest Gentlest Most Effective Method In The Whole Wild World, Bar NONE. {}; ~ ) According to Howe, A dog is a dog. A child is a child. A spouse is a spouse. All the same. So, let's go ahead and PRAISE bad behavior. "GOOD JOB, TIMMY! Smoking crack with friends is a good thing! Good for you! I'm proud of you, son!" "I'm so glad you cheated on me, Alice! GOOD JOB! Please continue to do so! Because it's a good thing according to Jerry Howe! Oh - sure - he's in a nursing home and is absolutely crazy, but he is SO smart!" Does this AssHowe have any brains left at ALL? No. He is truly crazy. He doesn't have a CLUE what behaviorism is. He simply makes **** up and tries to pass it off as something "scientific" when it's complete garbage. He has NO idea what logic is, and it's SO obvious, I really don't need to say that. He's insane. He has NO idea how to think straight. He can't even take care of himself. He can't even feed himself. He has no dogs. He can't take care of his wife. He won't meet people in person because he is a TRUE coward. He's a pedophile and pervert. He gives away the most ridiculous "manual" ever - a terrible, terrible "manual." He lies not once, not twice, but EVERY day. Ask him why. I'll tell you why. He doesn't care. He's not someone you EVER want to trust. |
