: : : Ok we live with my mother in-law and she has too dogs, Well we had a gate that why the dogs won't get in the liveing room well she took it down for what reason i don't know. OK know the dogs have bit her twice once in the check and the other on the nose, She didn't even do anything do this dogs to make her bit my daughter she was just playing with not hard either. What they heck am i supposed to do? It wasn's her fault that dog bit her.
: : summer, as bad as it sounds, its your mil's house and if she wants she can have the dogs running around. now why she decided to do it right now, is something you have to ask her. i mean, why the removal of the gate? also, if she doesn't want to put the gate back, you will have to keep your daughter away from the dogs, in her bedroom or something. but i would definetely cinfront her and ask why the dogs are on the lose and if she thinks they are more important than your little one.
: Thanxs sally, yes the dogs are more important then her grandkids ask me why im not sure she rather fight then talk so im going to leave it as that. I know its her house and its my job to keep my kids away, but a dog just dont bit you i mean all she did was lay down on the dog now that not a reason for a dog to bit you. I was right there when it happen and i don't see anything rong with letting you're little one lay down on the dog.
Did you hit the dog for biting? The only thing I can say is smack it's nose when it does it and do your best to keep the child and dog seperated.
Also what breed is it sometime that makes a difference. I know chow's can be rather tempermental.
