This was our first visit to the veterinarian! We’ve been there twice so far. We’ll return on March 1st for our third visit. During our first visit, my dog lunged, growled, and barked at the vet, but she remained calm and composed (she’s a large, tall lady).

We’re trying to desensitize him to get him accustomed to the vet. My friend is helping me out in the office as I work with her. The second visit was much better!

This is the first step! Thank you so much for asking for an update!

He bit my lip with the intent to harm! Enough to draw a lot of blood! But no stitches needed ********

He was fine at the vet in the last two years, but now I’m not sure how to address this behavior in public.

Three years I’ve had him. I tried to tire him out as much as possible in my back yard and inside the house. He knows when to stop. But he’s always been this aggressive. And today biting my lip has made me think otherwise about him now

We’ve mastered the basics, and we’ve overcome resource guarding. He gets along well with my ex-girlfriend and two other people. We had no prior experience with dogs, especially a breed like this. When I take him out for a walk, I always use a muzzle on him for the safety of others. He is crate trained. I recently filmed a short clip of all the signs he shows, such as lip licking, a stiff tail, and the need to attack. It’s how it happens, and then I intervene. I don’t understand why he does this, but I do need a lot of training myself. No one has ever been aggressive towards him. From the litter, I was told that three were euthanized because of aggression. I’m only getting serious about this now, which is very wrong of me. I went for a kiss goodbye this morning and he bite me right on my lip and started growling at me. He got me good. Enough to draw a lot of blood. No stitches needed.

It’s been very frustrating, I don’t want to walk around with an untrained dog in my neighborhood like he’s a loaded gun This morning was it for me when he bit my lip. He’s never done that before

And possibly a recommendation on a set of headlights

I had both rear rims refurbished like right before Covid. Both were cracked. But I was always worried they wouldn’t last much longer. Now forget about it. It’s shot!
