Dog Health Questions: Bull dog training question,?

OK so my bully is 1 1/2 and has bitten twice (once at 6 months and last month), both times the same person, my nephew, but the dog was abused when he was a puppy by my nephew and i found out to late :(. I have never seen him go into dog attack mode except with my nephew, he loves all of my little brothers and sisters, and my neice. He is a very loving dog, although a bit jumpy and he will steal food if it falls on the floor before you have a chance to pick it up. We took him to puppy training when we first got him, then some more training, we socialized him well, he loves all people ( one exception) he loves all dogs, cats do not bother him. Is there training that will help him deal with his aggression i am afraid to bring him to the park, on walks ( we have a huge fenced in yard) well anywhere. What if some one smells like my nephew, or looks like him, sounds like him ext. Is there any kind of training that will help with this? I will do anything, any suggestion? any stories like this

Border Collie Dogs Training - Getting Started



Recommended Answer:
The dog is not human aggressive. He is a fear biter and it is focused on one person. Your nephew abused him when he was a puppy. The kid needs some serious therapy. Anyway, I would not worry about taking your dog out and being around other people.

Each person has their own smell to a dog. He is not going to mistake another person for your nephew. He knows your nephew very well.

Keep the future serial killer away from your dog.

And if you want a similar story I can tell you one about my German Shepherd (since passed). We could not figure out why every time the next door neighbor's son passed by us while we were walking, she would go crazy. Did not have a problem with anyone else.

Found out from the neighbor across the street, during the day while we were working the little snot would go right up to our living room window and tease her. He is very lucky she never went through that window.

Effective Communication in Dog Training


  • HMM...If it is only this one kid, & the dog loves everyone else, i would say to keep a close eye on the two. Sounds like the kid may be hurting the dog or something. Either way, make sure the dogs knows he has done something wrong. Don't ever excuse a dog biting!
