@rebeccajoshuaoshea I was so distraught at the thought of my dog being shot at when I wrote this. Reading it now I see how ignorant I sound to think that he would become a blood thirsty crazed animal!! LOL I do usually keep him on a leash when he’s in the yard because we don’t have a fence yet! And I also have trained him to sit and get down when he jumps (it’s a work in progress). For the most part he does as he’s told which is why we were so shocked that he bit the boy!! My dog just got over excited, unfortunately the boy paid the price 🙁 We have since spoken to the boy and his mother and everyone has calmed down (thank God)!! I’ve been browsing around the site and came across some training advice in regards to jumping and I’ve been trying to use some of the advice that I’ve read, so far so good 🙂 Thank God for sites like this one!!
I googled this site because I have a pitbull and I have questions…and nowhere to turn! My dog’s name is Maximus he is 6 months old. We got him for Christmas and have had no problems with him and my 3 babies (4, 3, and 2 years old). He loves the stuffing outta them and they love him back. Today, however, my husband’s nephews came over and my dog gets over excited when we have company. He proceeded to jump on him despite my husbands calls. I know my dog was only trying to “love” him, but the boy got very scared and began spining around, my dog put the boy’s arm in his mouth and when the boy spun he bit down!! I felt so horrible for the boy, he was hurt and scared!! I don’t know what to do…Max has never done anything like that before (the biting I mean). He always jumps on people when they come over and we yell at him and send him to his bed, but this was outside in our yard. Now my father-in-law wants to shoot my dog!! He says that Max now has a taste for blood and he will “go crazy” and want to bite all of the time. Could this be true?
