Re: Dog bite! My 10mnth old bit me

I did everything right with her (or so I thought!) from the moment I got her. She took a puppy socialization class then went into obedience. I even put her in a fun conformation show where she won 1st place! I've never ever had a problem with her.

We spent Saturday at the lake. Shiba was swimming in the lake and appeared to be having a good time. Nothing out of the usual.

When we got home, she went onto her bed and began to chew one of her toys. I made eye contact with her and called her name and she growled at me! I came up to her and said, "Shiba No!" and reached for her toy and that's when I got bit!

I can understand now that I got bit because I shouldn't have reached for her toy. I should've used obedience and removed her from the toy. However I still don't think that she should've ever bit the hand that feeds her!

I'm so upset. I love her dearly and won't ever consider giving her away so I need major help! I've contacted my breeder who's helping me train her and I've also reached some trainers who have experience with dominant dogs. So please pray for us!

My boy was doing the same thing with his bones, when he was 4 months and he is 8 months and I did alot of training with him. He is doing much better.
