Our 4yr old sheepie bit a neighbor's dog tonight

| In the right circumstances it can indeed work - we used the parrallel walk to introduce Marley and the Newfie puppy and it went well. however now you know why cesar has so many warnings about professionals only on his show. your dog isn't too old to be trained - you just need a good trainer to help. in the meantime the lunging should have told you the dogs weren't ready for this yet.
hope the smaller dog is all right. |
| I will follow up tomorrow on the neighbor's dog. In the mean time I am still a little mad at my own sheepie. She is such a sweet dog to her family...but a terror of the neighborhood. I might look into "older" dog training. |
| Wow, how could you stay mad at that darling face!
I think it is important to own and use a muzzle when you have a dog that you know may bite - even in the very best situations. The fact of the matter is that had your girl truly been ferocious about the Peke, the Peke would have ended up with punctured lungs and broken ribs - in the very best situation. Pay the vet bills, console your friend and her Peke and chalk it up to a lesson well learned, by you. Good luck with Peke and your darling girl, too. |
| Yes, pay the vet bill and any further walking will be done with a muzzle! Consult a dog trainer and prepare for some intensive training for you and the dog.
Could be your sheepie will have to spend her life away from other dogs which will limit your interaction with other dog owners for awhile. Don't limit your friend by stopping walks, she still needs her exercise. |
