Rupert needs guidance, training, and understanding. As his owners, you and your family are supposed to give him such. The way you responded to the incident will not make him understand nor will it train him. He probably didn't even know what he did wrong.
In no way should he be killed for jumping on someone. If anything, he'd probably do a lot better in a different home who is more set out to train and understand him.
Yes, his behaviour was unacceptable and definitely shouldn't be tolerated. However, it was simply an accident and nothing more from the sounds of it. I don't believe confining a dog to the garage for the night did any good for him, nor do I think your mom should euthanize him the next time he does something like that (IF he even does it again). I believe your brother is the one to blame for doing something Rupert that he didn't like. Not that your brother is a terrible child. He sounds young and probably didn't realize he was bothering Rupert. If Rupert goes after him again, I think it would be a better decision to rehome him with somebody without young kids rather than to euthanize.
Not trying to be rude but what's with the "I've been grounded" comment, anyway? I doubt anyone really cares. You say that constantly. This thread is about Rupert and whether is punishment was justified, it doesn't have anything to do with you being grounded.
What do you mean by that? :confused: Sounds pretty rude to me.Quote:

It wasnt Zubins fault I had to have emergency surgery, and ended up in a wheel chair for 6 weeks- .. Not his fault.. And the wholeeeeeeee time during the fall I was holding onto the leash to keep him from getting loose and lost. My husband fell trying to get to me and all I get saying to him was- get the puppy, poorrrrrrrrrrr Zubin as I knew my fall scared him to death.
AS a matter of fact- because I was in a wheel chair for 6 weeks, he learned to tolerate wheel chairs, and became a very good therapy dog because of this..
Allllllllll I am saying is- are you grounded because you are grounded for another reason- or did you get grounded because of what happened with your brother...
Because school started and they don't want me on, so when I went on I got grounded since I already got warned not too... I wanted to tell you guys about this and obviously it was a mistake :rolleyes: School was out today because of the floods coming through, and that's why I'm on today.Quote:

The dog did nothing wrong. No one really saw what happened, and it sounds like to me he jumped up either because of the whistle or whatever, and scratched your brothers eye.
When you have big dogs, and younger kids, constant supervision is necessary. All we have now is a confused dog, your brothers cut on his eye, you are grounded for getting on line where are arent supposed to- and that seems like the facts judging by the responses..
BTW- are you supposed to be on line now????
exactly! just because it was an accident does NOT make him a bad dog!!!Quote:
