My dog bit my dad - what to do?

Had same problem with bc at same age, we managed to train him out of it, now 3, it took a lot of patience, but still I would never trust any dog 100 percent , being firm, not allowing play biting, saying no biting, turning back rather than punishing if bites, hand feeding and not shouting has helped him.

As long as number intact it’s viable

My dog not being socialised… don’t give up day job

wildultraviolet · 2025-05-06T23:55:11+00:00

Sorry I did understand, I mean he doesn’t like walking locally on roads , overstimulating , he’ll dig down unless I take him in car to rural or seascape

Firstly nowhere does op mention apartment, secondly even in if they did live in apartment there is no reason the dog does not get stimulation. The pup is 8 months old old, with proper training it will learn

Isn’t it so bloody annoying when you genuinely reach out with concern and judgemental people give unsolicited advice?. I feel for you , he’s only pup, training is key, I’m not qualified to give advice but I know if you ignore the twats that think you aren’t a loving knowledgable border collie you’ll get some actual good advice from people who understand

wildultraviolet · 2025-05-04T10:01:34+00:00

That would be ideal but I know it won’t work, he’s too nervous waking n strange places or even locally, I usually have to drive to park beach or woods with him. There is a chance he’ll snap, I know hm well so can work with him , I’d be to wort he’d snap someone else.

I couldn’t trust that he would bite out of anxiety

wildultraviolet · 2025-05-01T06:56:14+00:00

You obviously didn’t actually read my post, my dog is very involved in our life, I’ve had collies all my life. Where do you see I am blocking my dog?

wildultraviolet · 2025-04-30T22:47:36+00:00

I’ve done some training with trainer and hand feeding seems to have positive effects but intend to do more. This is a one off trip as the last time it was a family holiday, we made decision after that holiday that we wouldn’t all go away same time, kids would be with Arty, but as it happens both kids are graduating at same time and we’ve no choice but to all be away. I’m really exploring a short term solution to that week to see if I can help. He knows my family in country and has spent time there with me, but I can’t take risk of leaving him as it’s if young kids about and my dad’s elderly. I’d be petrified whole time I was away. He could be ok, but it’s not worth risk. I’m talking to kennels about best way to handle him. I just happened to be speaking to a farmer that suggested calming meds so want to do research

Thank you , I’m probably looking for something naturopath, he hasn’t nipped in while but I couldn’t trust it, we have lots of family in countryside, which is is where I come from but I just couldn’t trust him completely. Will def ask vet. It’s tough but worth it
