btw ..some times animal control will label the dog as being dangerous ...
the dog always on a leash..in a kennel in your yard.. and must wear a muzzle in public
and you must carry insurance that has a dog clause of min 100k .
and if you sell the dog and it bites someone.. your at fault.
if the paperboy is in front of the house ..trips on his shoelace.. the dog barks and claims the dog scared him.. your at fault.

trust me.. i have been thru this... the law is clear on this shit.
icq 300171360.. hit me up if you wish.

send it to NOLA for a week

do the right thing, put him down.

Beating the dog may put him in his place with YOU, but he's still going to think of himself as being above everyone else.

has he always been like that? or is it recent behavior? i don't have any advice but a bit off topic, i always have dreams about dogs biting my hand really hard and not letting go.

no, i haven't...keeping him away from other people doesn't work

Dogs are territorial in nature. They attack if they think you are getting into their territory. Well, what's the use of the rope if you don't know how to tie her?

The best way you have to do... is to consult a trainer and learned some techniques on what to do.. keep him this days to people and if he is used to it and can adopt, I guess that's the time you will set him free... and also be strict to him in ways not to do this and that!
Good luck!

you've already fuked him up

there are no bad dogs,,only bad people

bit a 5 year old in the face? Put him down, get over it, get another dog. Even if he straightens up (for whatever reason), it will be like going back into an abusive relationship. Things might be ok for a bit, but when they go sour, how are you going to feel about the kid the dog DOES hurt? Put it down, it's not worth it.

50........ :fart

I can't believe the posts in this thread.

First off, kicking the shit out of him isn't the way. If you want to discipline a GSD, you put a pincher collar on for the discipline. You only have to do this one time and you have to do it right when it happens so he correlates it.

You've got to apply a full upward multiple jerk lift with it to the point that he is on his hind legs only and do the jerk up about 3 times. This action will literally strip the dominence from him to you.

One of my 3 Shepherds required this during his Police K-9 training when he decided to attack the K-9 cop that was his agitator when he had taken off the leather sleeve. The cop did it for me and it was hard to watch but I never had a problem like that ever again with him.

GSD's are extremely protective of their territory. Some are overly so. As crazy as this sounds, the best thing to do is to put him through a full protection training course. This will make him more aggressive, but he will be taught perfectly when he is supposed to be and when he is not supposed to be.

Whatever you do, don't shoot him. That's fucked up.

Dog that bites?

Sell him to your local crack dealer.

My best trained GSD ever.

This is what a pinch collar looks like.

if youi kept the dog away from people he wouldn't have had the opportunity to bite the little girl. that being said you should put the dog down. I would say take it to the spca but given the history they would put it down anyway. from your posts you obviously are not prepared or qualified to have this dog.

sad but true
