My boyfriend and I are now living together and he ended up bringing his German Sheperd along. Well, we sometimes goof around and wrestle or just play fight, and everytime, his dog attacks me and bites me; sometimes it is very bad. Why is this happening and how can I prevent this from happening in the future? I don't feel safe around his dog and wonder if there is something I can do to make him understand that I am the "boss" and that what he is doing is bad. He is very aggressive around other dogs and is not able to get within 2 feet of another animal without becoming dangerous and violent. He has never bit or harmed my boyfriend, only myself and others.

 

Optional Information:
Age: 2; Male; Breed: German Sheperd

Already Tried:
small decipline techniques...shock collar, etc/p>

Hi Angela,

Is this dog neutered?

What does your boyfriend think of this behavior, and the fact that you don't feel safe around his dog?

Reply to JC Dill's Post: Yes, he is neutered.   My boyfriend is very upset that "neeko" (dog) is doing this. The times that he's tried to decipline him, neeko has also tried to snip at him. i am just worried that he is going to attack me one day, or more importantly, the wrong person and we will have to put him down.
