Little rat dog...

I got bit by moms new dog. The thing hates me. It loves my mom and daughter. Never showed any aggression towards them, but I'm a different story. The thing growls at me every time it sees me, and just hates me. Must think I'm the mail man, or just hates all men, dono.

So I fed it a treat. It actually growls at me but takes the treat. I reach down to pet it, and snap, snap, snap! I'm not really afraid of dogs so I had just made a fist and don't pull away (like an idiot). I did not want the dog to win, or learn that I was afraid. Well, that was a mistake. snap, snap, snap turned into a visit to the immediate care center this morning! My hand bled only a little, and really did not hurt, but two hours after the incident it hurt like heck. I could not believe it. I could not sleep cause of the pain and ended up going to the immediate care center for antibiotics just now. Dang it.

Here's the angel with my mom!

And here it is two hours later all swollen up. I even took my ring off just in case. It hurt like heck.

I iced it last night and it was a tad better, but now hopefully ibuprofen and antibiotics will do the trick.

All he needs is a attitude adjustment. Bring him to me for a week. New dog when you pick him back up.

little rat is just being protective. MY dog Yadi a paperanian/pomi mix will be sleeping with us, I get up to take them out and when they get back in bed with the sleeping princess, she will growl fiercely at me. From MY SPOT in bed! She then gets up and jumps and sits next to me on my recliner. Damn thing!

that looks bad Slab! has to be frustrating but I trained dogs for long time but not lil tempermental ones like this. you did the proper thing, with the treat and letting him sniff you. good luck!

My niece did this and it worked. She had a dog that was impossible to live with. She held it on it's back and made direct eye contact with it. After a little while the dog looked away signaling submission. It was a changed dog after that. In your case Slab you better put on a pair of leather gloves. If you try it let us know if it works. Good luck.

That hurts just to look at it.
Hope that you can get him to accept you.
I guess that you are going to have to spend more time at mamas house to acclimate you to the dog.:dono:bashWhite Flag Icon

Dogs don't like being stared at, especially by people they don't like.
And maybe he suffers from little dog syndrome, seems to me many of them do.

Kinda like "short cop syndrome". [emoji41] Don't know which is worse.

ED,
all kidding aside when you go to your mom's do you always wear your cover (aka Hat) if so try not wearing it and see if the dog changes !!! if he changes that will tell you someone has done something to him that either wore a hat or hit him with a hat !!!! if the that don't work go back to what Speckanator said !!!!

Dogs live in the moment. Little Rat is setting up a pecking order. If he gets away with it, that's the way things will stay.

Ouch Ed, wonder if he smells your dog, the 2 ever been together?

Abbey met the dog once. He wasn't friendly to her as she approached so she turned her head and walked to the side of him and past, not away and scared, but just giving him some distance. ABBEY KNEW! I shoulda listened to her. Dang!

Some apparently think that is funny. As far as I'm concerned, that's BS from the word go.

It's from the movie Anchorman.

Don't watch movies, it's still BS.

Easy now! I'm a dog lover and I can tell it's a rag doll.

Yeah, I agree. That's not real. He was too close to the railing to pull that off.

So, back to my dog bite. Took forever for the swelling to go down, but it looks like it finally is. Dang that dog sure had some germs on it's teeth. 2 hours and the hand was blown up swollen and tons of pain, can't believe thats all it took. They are coming here for Irma, and the daughter got him a muzzle. We're going to see what happens now, should be interesting. And we have three dogs for it to meet here on top of it. hmm, stay tuned.

His bite is worse than his bark. Keep a close eye on that. Medical centers may be without power soon. Go back asap if it gets worse.

What elkhunter said WILL work, but u have to hold it down till it gives up. That's how you become the alpha on a lot of dog species. I raise German shepherds and that's what I do to all of them. Works wonders. Seems cruel but it works. These shepherds make quite a scene sometimes when I do it.

ED,
are you and your house guest getting along any better ??? muzzle or no muzzle ?

Had a jack russle that was the same way, with a few people. By the time it was about 5, I had to put her down.
Bred a little close to the tree, I assume.....

Howdy All;

I'll 3rd or 4th the on the back routine, have had several adopted dogs,
Chessy, mutt, and most recent a Border Collie has worked extremely well
for all ... so far. The chessy and the border collie are both known to be
team players they just need to remember who the coach is.

Mom and daughter are here at my house riding out Irma. The biter is here too but he's relegated to puppy jail. He don't get along with me, and he don't seem to get along with abbey either. My daughter brought her into the house with a muzzle on and since he was still anti social he's relegated to jail.

What a stare. You don't have a chance.

Yep! That's the same "I'm lead dog" stare, the J.R. had, "Tear Drop". Tried for years to make it work out. Till it bit my son.
That was the last straw. Hate to take one out.......

The Hand doesn't look good at all, be careful with that hand.

Slab watch that cellulitis doesn't set in. Get treatment quickly. Cellulitis occurs when bacteria, most commonly streptococcus and staphylococcus, enter through a crack or break in your skin. It can be very serious.
