Oh. Sorry for sharing with you then.

I don't think you should feel sorry at all. Sharing is the whole point of this site!

:threadjacked: Personally, I wish you would have started a thread so we could all support you through this experience for whatever that would be worth to you, maybe you didn't want to draw too much attention, I don't know. I'm sure that's also what @MyBuddy meant. In this thread, it's so easy for the bath incident to get lost in all the pictures being posted.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm glad you shared :thumbsup2: and I hope you're healing up!
 
Well ta ta ta da! :thumbsup: We made it to the beach yesterday ..I won't go into great detail but getting anywhere now days is not easy:tap: so I am very thankful we could make it ...just for a few hours.. I took Conner (my grandson) with me and we really did have fun with Jake.
A DOG AND HIS BOY ..well it's not loading..I'm seem to be having this problem a lot Jan!:help: It's reduced to 1700 by 1400 or so what's the deal? :pullhair:lol I know it's me sigh:facepalm:I'll try to do it again ..reducing it more perhaps?:scratch: No reducing it more didn't help either :scratch: Well sorry I'll try in a bit maybe the internet is wonky on my end????:glasses:

I'll just say this today, as we've been over this before: Have you heard the phrase "Dog won't hunt" ? What does it mean? Where did it come from and why?

And yes, I am well aware of the concepts of training a dog to come. Hence what I wrote which was, well, what you quoted: "Yeah, a lot of times with Oji I just sort of don't care about doing things the right way because he's such a disappointment to me."

I'm sorry too ..I agree with my Buddy.. We want to help and I am glad you were honest about how you feel..I've been there. So don't be discouraged. I still was wondering, because maybe I missed it but was he a rescue? I have made mistakes with the dogs and still do..that's human. hang in there.

Okay. I see. Well, no, he was not a rescue. We got him at about 12 weeks old from a very reputable, accomplished working-line breeder. He's just kind of, umm, special. I think this breeding did not produce what was hoped for. Oji's brother got returned to the breeder for biting the owner. I know of three of Oji's littermates who are being trained in IPO and at three years all that has been accomplished is BHs. So I know, I know, it's never the dog's fault – "no bad dogs." Whatever.

I do know my way around dog training pretty well. I wasn't asking for help. By posting the pic of the facebite, I was just complaining.

I'm just gonna say this...and then drop it. Wrong thread to go off topic. :rolleyes: But I feel this is the saddest statement I've heard in a very long time. :( Oh, and #10 How to teach your dog NOT to come

I never call my dog for a bath. I get everything ready and then just go to him. Or her in a nonchalant way.

Could I get nonchalantly lessons plez :scratch:..I guess I'm not very good at it.. Jake notices everything I do:glasses:..and sometimes I try to be subtle :guns: but somehow he still knows!!! nose!! :eekwtf:It is kinda creepy! lol

No it can very well be the dog at fault... thank goodness it's more rare, but it happens....It happened to my daughter she raised a Siberian Husky from puppy hood and the dog ended up being a terrible biter! She bit so many other people including my daughter that is was just ridiculous! Her name was Ashan and my daughter was always good with her..if there was any factor where my daughter may have been slightly at fault it was for sure nothing glaring obvious.. I'm saying if the dog is super bad then make the hard choice to euthanize him. I am not saying that's something you need to do ..you know him way better than I do. but it's perhaps an option. I know MyBuddy well enough to know that she never meant to hurt your feelings...We are all sorry if we did that. No verbal communication is for sure not the best way to convey feelings. :weird:

That is very disappointing, indeed. You're right - it's definitely a bad dog, I'm sad to say it. You've had two Dobes Before this one, so you know what you're dealing with. It's a tough spot to be in :imsorry:

My daughter was just so disappointed too.. She has no kids and she gave so much love and time to this dog..It really was just in this dogs nature and of course the dog is innocent ..she is just reacting more like a wild animal and it sad to say doesn't fit in with domestic bliss.. She had bitten so many people but my daughter just didn't have the heart to put her down..She ended up in a rescue that takes care of dogs that are half wolf...yes we found out that even though she was papered as all Siberian she was a wolf cross! It made us all really sad but there was not a lot of choice here.. Lucky that no one got hurt worse than the did. In all the years I have never seen anything quite like it.. I know the wolf factor is bad but other dogs I have heard of just seem to end up being biters...I know it's more rare. Some through abuse or neglect to other just seem to have a throw back gene perhaps to the wild side of things. :(

I didn't realize this had happened but that's really too bad. :(
I have heard this about the wolf mixes too and they say it's either better to either have a pure wolf or none bred in at all. I hate to cite some of the things like that since we know the stereotyping with our breed and I certainly don't want to do it with others but at the same time, it can sort of make sense when you're crossing a wild animal with a domestic one.
