We did have blood samples and everything done but it came out normal.
He is aggressive and you should never hit any animal.
My vet said I should put him down, and since the humane society won’t take him because he drew blood, should I?
My dog is a threat to my family and I am afraid that he will bite me kids, we have tried training classes, a trainer, and the humane society, anything else I should try?
Also the reason my dog bit the lady was because he didn’t get his way
Okay, thanks we had to put him down because he bit my daughter and he just gets so over protected, I know that there were other answers but my husband said their wasn’t we might get another dog do you have any suggestions for a mix breed dog that is easy to train and is medium size for under 200$

see your vet ASAP (today, if possible) to ensure there are no medical problems causing the biting. this should include things like a blood panel for thyroid. once your dog is completely cleared of all medical problems, contact a veterinary behaviorist. the directory is here: http://www.dacvb.org/about/member-directory/
do NOT hit, knee, or otherwise act violent toward your dog. this will not help.

is he aggressive? my female had this same problem. each time she bit i would take my hand and bob her bottom jaw. after a week she quit biting. and i mean. take your hand under his chin and swing up.
