[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was trying to eat hot dogs off the counter. She walked in and either pet him or tried to take the plate when it happened.  She went to her personal doctor and he did not report it. That's beside the point. I almost wish he has been taken away. He snapped at my son a year ago. I gave him a pass because my son climbed on his dog bed. I was still shocked he bit her. He loves strangers![/quote]

OP, my brother and SIL had a rescue dog that had what you describe, food-agression.  If a dog has this, it's probably smart for you to take serious measures.  This is not something that is easily fixed--not something easily trained out of a dog.  I don't know if it even CAN be trained out of a dog (maybe other PPs know).

My DB and SIL live in CA and in that state, all medical personnel are required by law to report a dog bite.  So our bitten friend's doctor reported it.  You wouldn't believe it.  Our friend started getting phone calls from attorneys who specialize in dog bite lawsuits--they find the report and solicit business this way!  They wanted our friend to sue my brother!  Fortunately she is a decent person, but yikes, what if it had been some stranger?

Re your kids, I would research and decide what to do before telling your kids.  Don't tell them before you've got your plan.  [/quote]
