Can’t lose small breed for a kid

Our cat is a very chill Maine Coonish bath cat.

The dog began to get aggressive with my daughter as she approached puberty. My vet said she thought she was left in a cage and neglected before we got her. I rehomed her with a dog rehabilitation behaviorist.

The second dog was my mom’s. The dog became part of the family when my mom moved in. Mom moved in because she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. The dog was half corgi, half Jack Russell terrier. My mom adopted her as a puppy from the shelter. Things were great for three months then the dog began getting aggressive toward my daughter. My uncle came and got the dog after the third unprovoked attack on my daughter.

I do feel like both dogs saw my daughter as bottom of the pecking order because she is small and quiet. She still really wants a dog. She watches Lucky Dog all the time. She had watched the show and learned how to train the last dog. I feel like it’s unfair to her. She was very involved with the dog.

It's not about her, it's about the dog. You gave away two dogs, how many more will you sample before keeping one?

Until I find one that doesn’t bite my child. Or sit watch under my bed waiting to attack her for coming in to hug me in the morning.

I also gently suggest that the problems haven’t been the dog, but perhaps your daughters interaction with them. Having two dogs to get aggressive towards a child is completely abnormal and suggests to me that there is something going on with the way your daughter is interacting with the dogs.

I’m the one up thread who also suggest you don’t get a dog and get her a stuffed animal instead. It just really bothers me that people treat dogs as items that they can refund, exchange, and get rid of a soon as they’re a minor inconvenience. It really is a long-term commitment barring a major issue and I think the issue might be your daughter’s.

Maybe try for a dog in a couple of years.

I have a terrier mix, and they're nippy. Did the dog break your daughter's skin? If not, the dog was behaving they way many of its breed do. I am my dog's person, and he barks and nips at my kids when they hug me, but he's not aggressive.

I agreed with your post but a dog biting my child without provocation is NOT a minor inconvenience. Do you hear how insensitive that is? You also completely ignore that two dog behaviorists and the vet told me the dog should not be in our home. How do you think they saw the dogs behavior? Because I called two dog behaviorists to come to my home and paid them hundreds of dollars for their expertise. And took the dog to the family’s veterinarian for further advice. These professionals don’t just show up on your doorstep uninvited.

This is terrible that you will harm so many dogs by bringing them home and giving them away. Dogs need training and support and they will always go to the adult first.

And do you really think my daughter has never had a stuffed puppy before? Absurd.

OP please note that labs need a lot of exercise and dogs will be destructive if they don’t get adequate exercise so don’t come back here saying that you rehomed your adorable lab because it acted out.

My friends have a cockapoo and it’s a good dog with their kids, also beagles? Although they are loud.

Get a gerbil, not a dog.

Then stop getting small snappy breeds from a rescue. Go to a breeder and get a lab or golden.

Although I don't think you should get a dog at all.

We have a Blue Russian cat. Very dog like, plays fetch, very affectionate with everyone and you don't have to pick up pooops.

OP I am 10:51 and I am sort of also wondering why you are so insistent on getting a dog when you have been so unsuccessful twice. Maybe dog ownership is just not for you.

Corgis are one person dogs. Know what breed you are getting. ALso, know that this pack stuff is outdated nonsense based on wolves, and even there it has been disproven. Learn more about dogs before you get one.
