Aussie and Granddaughter
I have the perfect Aussie I got from a rescue while working out of town in
Las Vegas. I have since returned home where we are raising our 1 year granddaughter. The dog gets along with all my teen-age daughters and all their friends, but the granddaughter makes him kind of nervous. The biggest problem started when she accidentally fell on him and surprised him. He turned around and bit her pretty good on the arm bringing blood and a trip to the emergency room. Since this happened Grandma (my wife) will not let the dog anywhere close to my granddaughter. We are having to keep them separated which is not easy in an apartment. I contacted the rescue in Las Vegas like I agreed to when signing the contract to adopt him. The foster mom that raised the Aussie wants him back and is willing to fly to Houston to pick him up. This was the plan as of 3 weeks ago and I am still waiting to see if they actually are coming to get him. In the meantime we continue to separate the 2. He is a very intelligent dog and is obedient trained. I wish I could do something with him about this so that I could keep him. I can not assure myself or my wife that it won't happen again seeing that she could trip and fall on him at anytime. Does anyone have any training ideas for this situation? I sure would like to keep him. ~JNJ~ |
