Another Dog Attacked My Dog

Mother f***ing sreet justice ni**a!

 

This is your answer.

 

Nah, you would rather have this:



Dogs usually go for the neck.

 

Get less of a wuss for a dog.

 

I've been on both sides of this. My sister had a dog who was attacked and killed by a neighbor's dog on a walk. My sister couldn't fight it off. My mother told the neighbor she'd make sure the dog was euthanized if it wasn't gone in a week and the neighbor got rid of it.

More recently, I had inherited a dog that doesn't interact well with other dogs, though great with people. We kept her behind the fence, but she'd escape occassionally. Once, she slipped through when I was outside and ran after the toy dog across the street and shook it like a rag doll. I ran up on her and broke it up and picked up the animal hospital bill for the other dog, who got a little puncture wound (and damaged psyche). I felt real bad about it, but I wasn't the one who gave her interaction issues and it was an accident she got loose.

 

If I saw another dog attack my dog, I would drop kick the other dog right in the gut. Sure it might turn on me, but I'd rather have the dog bite me than kill my dog.

Rottweilers are not a dog you want to go hand-to-hand with. Make sure to have CHL and state that after it released your dog, it came after you.

For those who say "The dog doesn't know any better", I understand and actually agree, but I don't know any better way to protect myself and my dog.

 

There's really no such thing as lock jaw, but given it was a rott and its strength I can see how it was reluctant to let go.

This is all easier said than done, but the rott is showing he's alpha, which means you can not be afraid of it if this happens again. This is more than just trying to get it off of your dog vigorously, it's taking a control position. Now, an out of control dog is out of control. One thing all dogs hate is when you push really hard in what is, effectively, their back armpit. On the inside of their back legs, where the leg kind of meets the body, if you push in there really hard, the dog, even an attacking one, is likely to really not like it. The caution here is that the rott in this case could turn around quickly and snap at you, but at least it would be off your dog.

This is just good to know anyways, for example, if you are coming up on the two in a fight, it is useless to go for the head or to try and pull off, go straight to that spot and really grab around the leg and dig in under there.

If you can get to the rott next time its free and get it leashed, and then be a true person of authority - don't let it jump around on you, give it some solid yanks on a sliplead leash (the best leashes do not attach to a collar but rather slip around a dogs neck so that you can pull back and tighten it as a means of getting the dog to pay attention to you) - you might be able to check if he is neutered. My guess is no. You can take him to SNAP and have him neutered at a very low cost, and then bring him back to your neighbor. This will immediately improve (though not fix) his aggression issues.

And if worse comes to worse, you could take him to the SPCA or another shelter....

...BUT BUT BUT BUT, make this a very very very last case scenario - they will put him down, and inherently, this is an owner problem, not a dog problem.

 

I made amends with the neighbors and now my dog has moved to a brother's. So we're cool. They know it was accident, but I was there to make sure the fight didn't last more than a couple of seconds.

I'd say if he hasn't made the effort to make peace and/or you don't feel comfortable that he's taking reasonable efforts to protect the community from his dog, you do whatever you can to get rid of the dog or the neighbor. I wouldn't take no from Animal Control. Tell them the dog is a menace; have neighbors call them to say it is a menace. Same with the complex. Give them all so much trouble that someone will do something just to make the complaining stop.

 

First, I hope your dog fully recovers.

Second, tell HPD the dog attacked you and your girlfriend and they will have to do something about it.

A year ago my wife was walking our puppy around the apartment. Out of no where two pitbulls with no collars come and start jumping on our puppy. Before my wife could react one of the pitbulls picked up our puppy in its mouth and started taking off.

Walle, our puppy is basically our baby. My wife started running after the two pitbulls and screaming at the top of her lungs for help. They went into an open field and my wife was there a split second later. Think she threw a shoe at the one with our puppy in its jaw and Walle got loose. Started running around and one of the pitbulls came after my wife. My wife picked up Walle and at this point both pitbulls were after my wife. Thank god the neighbors were out at this point and my wife was holding up Walle above her head. She "only" suffered a few deep scratches on her back and neighbors scared the dogs into a corner.

HPD came first and had their guns pointed at the dogs till animal control arrived. Took both the dogs in. No collars of course. The dogs were euthanized a week later.

I of course was mad at the dogs, but blame the ****ing owner more. If I ever found the owner and something serious had happened to my wife or my puppy I swear to god that mother ****er would have paid for it one way or another.

 

Yes cause all dogs should be tough and be able to fight.

Hang out with Michael Vick much?

 

Let's go get this fool....

 

That is surprising, though does happen. Statistically, most attacks are from intact males. I think second are non-spayed females (as opposed to neutered males), so it does happen.

I'd still venture to guess she isn't spayed.

Anyways, some dogs ultimately have to be put down, but in almost every case, with enough time and effort, every menace dog can be rehabilitated.

Just remember the leg trick.

It works on your own dogs too if they aren't paying attention to you, etc.

 

That is dumb, there are laws for dogs attacking other pets.
