If you mistreat your dog, and he is afraid or insecure at that particular moment in time he might bite you. If you mistreat your dog, and he is CHAINED while feeling afraid or insecure at that particular moment in time he WILL bite you. It all depends on how you treat your dog, if you understand his nature and body language and if he is chained. The more time your dogs spends chained, the more likely he is to bite. You've increased the probability by 300% When you chain a dog, no matter our socialised he is, the chaining will little by little undo the training you gave him. With a dog you constantly have to train him. In short, I have had a Rottweiler, also called Muffy, for the past 5 years. Everything was ok, Muffy would spend time with the family in the sitting room, in the garden, on the balcony. He was always with US when we were at home. that means from 6pm till 7am. Muffy would sleep indoors while the other dog stayed outside. Anyway... things changed dramatically when my grandmother moved into our house in April this year. The house was OUT OF BOUNDARIES, Muffy was no longer allowed in. My grandmother also has so many house visits from her doctors, nurses and worried friends that Muffy had to be chained from morning to night with four 20 minute breaks. The only good thing was that he was tied down with a 2.5metre tie-out chain and he could play with the other dog. Anyway, Muffy is a different dog now and has started showing signs of aggression towards me, after having shown signs to everybody else. It is time for us to part with him, because we now have a baby that is learning to walk, as well as an elderly lady in a wheelchair. It is time for us to part with him, because we can no longer socialise him like before, our personal circumstances have drastically changed. At a later date, we will get a replacement. It will still be a black dog, but it might be a black Labrador instead, they are easy to socialise and great with children or disabled adults. So the Dog Breed matters too!!

Dogsworld:That's such a pity. I hope you're not planning to put him down? If chaining him is the problem, perhaps you can rehabilitate him by chaining him inside the house instead of chaining him outside? Get a vet to look at him; he may have issues with pain that are increasing his aggression. If that won't work, pls try to sell him to someone who lives alone or keeps dogs for breeding or security work. If you can't find a suitable buyer, and he is to be put down, pls ensure that he is put down in a very humane way, by a vet. Don't sell him to butchers who'll club him to death. xanadu101:Yes, a dog will bite you if he feels you are mistreating him and he feels that he can't escape from your mistreatment. Our Lhasa Apso loved to sleep under tables and at the foot of sofas. Unfortunately, ppl kept stepping on him when he slept in those places, so he became very aggressive to anyone who dared to wake him up from sleep or approach him while he was resting. Somehow he got the idea that my mum was his enemy, so he bit her without provocation one evening and bit anyone who tried to control him afterwards. Growling and snapping at everyone. Eventually we solved the problem by not allowing him to stay in the house anymore, so that no one would step on him. And this really worked out well because he gets to play with the other dogs all day instead of sleeping in the house and getting stepped on. So the answer is yes, but it doesn't matter since you should not be mistreating your dog in the first place. Be a kind and caring owner, always. |

Seun: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh God FoRBID!!!! I can't put him down!! No we plan to find him a new family and the real condition is being able to visit him from time to time. I had a dog call Sasa, a beautiful mongrel, we gave him away when he was 4 years old and continued visiting him and his new family until he died at the age of 11. So I hope that, if we decide to give him away for adoption, we will all be able to do the same. funny you should mention aggression linked to pain. The first sign of aggression came after his visit to the vet. According to his handler, the vet put a muzzle on him and with his assistant they dug deep into his ears. He had a smelly infection in his right ear, and the vets really handled him badly.. he was fearful and chocoblocked with painkillers and other drugs. It's only after he bit somebody quite badly that we phoned the vet to understand why he had changed... The vet then told us : " yes it is a side effect. You must take him back to his home and prevent anybody from petting him... Sorry Ma..." Anyway the damage has been done. The problem is, this happened under our noses and we took a few things from granted, such as assuming that the visit to the vet was ok and that the dog was his normal self. So imagine another scenario: baby at home, graduates from crawling to walking and under no supervision starts walking to the dogs' kennels... I agree with you, will look into giving him away for adoption to somebody who breeds (he'll be quite happy about that one), or who has security dogs. thanks!!!! |

sad story @dogsworld |

Dogsworld: The problem with Muffy is not the chain but the fact that he was used to staying indoors with people he loves and now he has to stay outdoors and chained like a local dog.. He is depressed. Dogs Suffer depression too.. Had a similar experience with bruno a GSD, we had to move him out of the house at around 4 months, he was depressed for a while.. he was violent, won't eat and won't bark.. he got over it probably because he was young and we still showed him love. We also release him as often as we can.. I had to practically hand feed him then before he wld eat..... 1 Like |

SuperMartins:Don't be cruel to dogs. Try to understand them so you can live in harmony with them. Don't see them as your "enemies". They aren't. |
