Daisy bit a person!!!

[tikeyas_mom]

Well.. My worst fears have come true...
Daisy bit my Shauns mom today..
She knocked at the front door, and Shaun answered it.. She came in the house and all the dogs *Baby, Tikeya, Oscar, and Ebony* greeted her at the door, tails wagging and all wanted pets!... Untill Daisy came Bolting up the stairs barking, and bit her in the back of the leg.. Then Shauns mom screamed in pain and Daisy let go, ran downstairs, and hid....

She pulled up her pant leg and she has a HUGE blood blister there now... Its really bad.. Didnt break the skin, but it sure looks incredibly painfull..


I knew in the back of my mind that this would happen eventually, I was just praying that it wouldn't happen... So yeah, Shauns friend, Jamies, Aunty takes in problem pitbulls, ones who have bitten people and would have been put down if not saved by her..
She has a HUGE heated kennel where the dogs sleep in their individual pens and she brings them in her house on a schedual.. *some of the dogs dont get along with eachother do they have to be put on a schedual to avoid furthur fighting...*..

I hate that this is happening... ***sigh***..

That is terrible! Will Daisy be going to this kennel that you mentioned or is that just an option? You said that you knew it would happen eventually. How did you know that? Forgive me if you've mentioned this before. I'm a relatively new member and haven't caught up on all the background information for everyone. I hope things go well for you though.

Well...I hope Shaun will learn that he could have MAYBE mostly likely have prevented all this by learning how to train Daisy properly.

I mean - this is his mom, not a stranger.

It's not Daisy's fault. Poor girl!

And it isn't your fault either. I hope Jamie's aunt can take Daisy, and also that she and her nephew can have a talk - maybe he will listen to her when he won't to anyone else.

I know you were concerned about your baby too.

{{{{hugs}}}} Daisy will be safe and happy, and your baby - and any other visitors to your home - will be safe.

Prayers to you.

Nevermind my previous post with the questions about her behavior. Catty1's post jogged my memory and I do recall reading previous posts about Daisy and your concerns about her. I'm very sorry.

I know I wish I could have known Daisy as a puppy, maybe I could have prevented all this.. I know for a fact Daisy was spoiled rotten as a puppy, always in a safe place *in her mind* and now that she is shown a whole different world she has never know *new people and places* she just cant handle the change.. Its really too bad, but maybe its for the best... I just hate having to go thro this.. I hope that Jamies Aunt wants to take her in.. Because if she doesnt, I am not sure what we are going to do.

Wow... how heart-breaking. =(

Have you considered a behaviorist? And working with her? Why would she need to be put down, for a bite that didn't even break the skin?

I dunno. But, I do know that Gonzo could definitely escalate to nipping people who come into our house, if he was not handled properly in such situations. He is very sensitive, and he's fine with any people, except for CERTAIN people coming into the house. The key is desensitizing him to people coming in and out, teaching him to wait when some one is at the door, and introducing him slowly... or crating him when it's appropriate. It is a SLIGHT inconvenience, but it isn't life-changing or anything. You can't set her up for failure like that.
