You really want to know how to solve the problem?

you sure?

Well, alright....

Pick the dog up....

and suck its d***

I saw someone recommend that on another forum. I don't know from first-hand knowledge if it will work or not. LOL

"Does your dog bite?"

"No."

"Nice doggie."

*ROFF* CHOMP

"OOWH! You said your dog doesn't bite?"

"Monseur, that is not my dog."

one of the most memorable scenes. That and the "Pavlova of zee para-lel barz."

My mom's husky-lab mix is 5 years old and still does the "biting" thing. It's reeeeeeal gentle, and I always understood it to be a playful gesture or a thoughtful gesture. If I really start playing with her, the bites will get a little harder, but she's never come close to breaking skin.

She's also a great dog with my 2 yr old son. She'll lay on her side and let him lay on her and they'll stay that way for hours, if Will goes to sleep. She'll nudge him.... heck she even kept licking him when he was a baby.... YES, I let my son get close to that dog when he was just a few months old. It's almost like she treated him like one of her own puppies!!! Now that's he's bigger, he pulls her tail, grabs her jowls and pokes her in the eye.... she doesn't seem to care.

I think that's a dumb excuse to put a dog down, especially if they've never shown any aggression before.

On a side note, if she ever really BIT my son and hurt him intentionally, I'd "bite" her back with my 40 cal, if you know what I mean.

LOL!!

Actually, this behavior doesn't bother me at all........the original post was made in jest.

If you take some peanut butter and smear it around on your...wait..nevermind

I have a black chow / black lab mix that is mostly black chow near as I can tell. We call him Diablo cause he is a freakin devil dog. He bites. Now the good news is he has almost never actually bitten any one. I say almost, cause there was the pastors kid who insisted that my son take him into the garage where we keep the dogs when company comes over. He was told, don't try to pet him cause he will bite you. So the kid ruffled up his head and said no he won't....yes he did. I don't think he even broke the skin, but hopefully it help the youngster be a little smarter next time.

Otherwise, if let to his devices, he becomes a snapper.....he watches people, sitting there looking absolutely adorable, will even let you lovingly pet him, then when you draw your hand away.....he snaps at you. Scares the crap outta people.

Of course this is a completely sweet dog with all the family and such.

I hate Chows..Gaddam mean black tongued demon dogs

I'd keep the dog, put the kids down. Guess it's a good thing I don't have kids or a dog.

Good reason to keep fish instead, BTW. Then again, I got stung by a lionfish once, and it hurt like a mutha.

#12 Doesn't always work. My parents had a cocker spaniel that failed obedience school twice (although she didn't bite, thankfully). Dumbest. Dog. Ever.

"He was told, don't try to pet him cause he will bite you. So the kid ruffled up his head and said no he won't....yes he did. I don't think he even broke the skin, but hopefully it help the youngster be a little smarter next time."

I woulda stomped that sob into mush.....I HATE those beasts..and you owning one that you know bites is just asking for trouble

Is this a lab trait? My neighbor has a chocolate lab, that "mouths" when he hasn't seen you for a while. It's totally friendly and if you tell him "no" he stops. I always thought it kinda neat how he does that.

I have a heeler, he bites...

everything he does is with his mouth...

He chews, bites, tugs, knaws and so on and so foth...

He chews on your fingers, he nips at your heels, he even tries to chew on my big nose...

I would never think of trying to stop him of this.

There is difference between this and a dangerous, mean dog that aggresivly hurts someone by bitting...

That kind of dog should be put down....

I have four dogs and would never put up with aggresive bitting...

my two cents..

27. that's called a chowbrador.........

"Is this a lab trait?"

I am not sure, my previous lab would actually grab your hand in her mouth and take you where she wanted to go, (the door, food, toys, etc.) it was pretty funny... And a "leave it" command would make her let go... They are smart dogs...

My current lab was very mouth aggressive as a young pup (playing) that we had to train her out of as sometimes she would hurt you by accident...

It's not a bite if they don't draw blood. One of our cats does it, too.
