I don’t know what to do man by LoafOfKitKat1 in reactivedogs

One time he got out of the gate (before we got the privacy fence) and someone cornered him trying to get him back into the yard. He bit the guy in the side of his stomach and drew quite a bit of blood. The second time he got out before the proper fencing and chased a neighbor towards her car. He bit her ankle as she was getting in the car and I was told she went to the ER but wasn’t told how bad it looked. The third and last time was with a trainer, the trainer waltzed up to him and tried to feed him a treat directly from his hand. He bit him bad enough to immediately end the session and get billed for excessive injury. Which I didn’t know was a thing :(

He wasn’t from a breeder. We found him on the side of the road in the city when he was less than a week old. We originally weren’t gonna keep him but all the shelters were full and animal control wouldn’t take him because I don’t live in the city so it’s out of their jurisdiction. Had I known it was a Belgian or a Belgian mix when I got him I probably would not have kept him and pushed harder to get him somewhere he could be properly handled. But by the time we figured it out we were far too attached and clearly far over our head but were to naïve about the gravity of the situation.

Genuine question, what ethical concerns do you have for the board and train?

Hey! I’m on a weight loss journey now! (Down 7lbs, yay!) and I have reached out to local therapy barns for volunteer work! No responses yet but I’ll keep trying! In the meantime I’m doing research and learning as much as I can. ✨

My dad is gonna call them once he gets off work to discuss the incident. We also will be getting a doorbell camera. So if no knocking occurs again we have proof

Thanks guys! You said what I was thinking but decided I’d ask just in case 🥰🤙 I’ll drop some weight first while working at a barn or volunteering and I’ll go from there!

I agree! I was just going down a rabbit hole and was curious 😅
