[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  19:54, I agree with you and think this is some good advice.  I will also note that the PP who said the dog gave a warning nip more than a bite is probably accurate.  Saying he "bit his head" sounds pretty intense, but it's not like he had his jaws clamped down or anything -- it's highly possible he even just swung his mouth around while barking and scratched DS more than biting him.  (Maybe I am denying things by saying this, but honestly, it has happened this way to me before when we were playing and I know he didn't mean to hurt me at all but had his mouth open.)[/quote]

It could have been a scratch but your child is old enough to know not to whack the dog or poke it's eyeballs.  Does he whack you in the head?  The child is obviously hurting the dog.  We had a large dog when my children were toddlers.  Sounds like a nice dog.  Unfortunately your home is not a place for this dog.  Get the crate out.  And use the word NO and move away your child's hands. No more chores while both are loose.[/quote]
