got chance what should i do to try and solve his behaviour

I Would Love Little Doggy To Eat My Scrotum And Cok Tart Fart

I would not keep a dog around that bites PERIOD. That dog is a danger to your neighbors and visitors. Once a dog starts biting, you can't untrain them. You can't solve his behavior. If I were in your position, I would put him down- I know that sounds harsh. If you can't do that then find someplace where he can go and not be around men. You have to accept that is how this dog is. I know that you don't want him to hurt anyone, but he will. Many cities are starting to enact laws that if your dog bites someone that you are responsible to pay for the damage and may be held to criminal charges. I don't know if your city is that way or not. I have also heard of court cases where dog owners were sued for medical bills incurred when their dogs attacked someone- they judge made the dog owner pay. I know it sounds terrible, but I believe that your only option is to get rid of the dog.

Patience, love, and understanding. Your dog has obviously been traumatised by abuse from a male. You don't say if he hates other male dogs or human males! Whatever, it is his trust which needs to be won ... and this will not come in a day, or even a week.Obedience classes are an excellent idea. Also, ask your vet about an animal behaviourist or support group. It is possible you could get a referral without necessarily having to pay a hefty fee. The fact this lucky dog has been rescued by you, is the first big step toward solving this sad problem.Just hang in there! Good luck.

Well done for given a dog a second chance. Your letter has also served to bring some idiots out of the woodwork judging by some of the answers!The first thing to try is a change of diet. Rescue centres tend to feed whatever is donated to them and it is not always the best thing for a particular dog.I would suggest that the protein level of his current diet is too high and I recommend that you try Davis Ranger Chicken and Rice. It must be that and NOTHING ELSE, other than fresh clean water. Before you start the change of food lift the dogs jowl and try to form a mental picture of the colouration of the pigmentation of the skin within his mouth. My guess is that is going to be pretty dark in colour. As the weeks go by on the recommended food you will see that colour lighten to a pale pink. It will take 6 to 8 weeks to get rid of the excess protein. Do remember that this will not work if you give other food as well!!!In the meantime get yourself booked into a reputable club to start a training course in a couple of months then it's all systems go!Good Luck.40 years experience with dogs.

buy a muzzle lead it slips over the face and joins behind the ears if the dog goes to bite you pull the lead up and it tightens around the snout preventing biting when you have mastered that take your pooch and socialise build build up confidence the bite factor is fear the poor pooch is just scared of the men its only defence is to bite it will take months to build up a bond between you two TLC really helps i recently rescued a young staffy had been beat to a pulp i made the owner (a local drug dealer) an offer he could not refuse when i took luke to the vets he estimated that he was 12 weeks old just skin and bone ive had him 8 months now he still gets a bit waspy but hes fit loves my missis to death and hes started comming to me a lot more give it time its worth it

MGM hit is pretty much on the nose. There are 2 types of biters. Aggressive and defensive. It is important to know which is which. Just because a dog bites does not mean that it is aggressive and should be put down. I have biters that I have adopted and they have worked out fine with me. Important to note that dogs just do not bite for any reason not even Pit Bulls. Someone or something has caused this and once you discover the cause the fix is not that difficult. Never reinforce by tlc any dog that shows a bad attitude as you are only supporting it. Many dogs learn a great deal from those people who actually shun the dog and show it no attention when it has done wrong. When you think about it, most dogs re-act not act. It takes an action to get a reaction from a dog, no matter what the breed or mixed. Therefore most dog bites are defensive. If the dog is showing a biting attitude toward males (I will assume men) than in all likelihood a man has abused the dog in the past therefore in its mind all men are a threat therefore it is acting out on a defensive mechanism in its mind. It perceives a threat based on a prior experience or experiences. This may be difficult, but try to think like the dog. You may find that you responses are very similar. Granted we generally do not bite but we do become defensive with a perceived threat especially if it relates to a past situation that creates fear in our minds.
