Beware of Dog

Some aunties have mentioned before that Jack should wear a tee shirt that says - "Beware of Dog" cos he bites.
Jack's adoption story can be found here.

As we were saying, Jack is a fear biter. He bites when he feels cornered. He is also a domineering dog - if he don't get his way, he bites / barked / pulled your pants / skirt.

My human granddad was bitten quite badly with blood oozing out from his thumb. I cannot believe Jack did it cos grandad was only patting him.

HC's niece was bitten (small wound) on face cos she tried to carry him (mind you, at that time, she is staying with Jack, so should be considered FAMILY. How can Jack bite her?). The only successful people who have carried him are his human godma (when Jack is in good mood), and Auntie Sam who carried him up the car (she did it very fast and jack was caught offguard).

A garang guni man was bitten on his leg when he is carrying an old T.V. out of my granny's place (To Jack - he thinks the man is stealing the T.V.).

HC was bitten a few times (no blood though) when she tried to train him.

Others who tried to touch him were nipped / growled at, but luckily nothing serious.

Anyway, this is ancient history as Jack has been properly trained by HC over the last 6 years. In fact, Jack had went through basic and advance obedience, agility. But HC said that Jack's advance level is not quite as good as those we see in Dog Show Competition. And, for sure, he will fail when it comes to the part when the Judge supposed to touch the dog.

Sometimes, strangers are very weird. Without asking HC, they will try to pat Jack from behind. Luckily, Jack is better behaved nowadays, and on good days, he even asks for pats from people he knows.

P.S. He has not bitten someone for quite a while. Nowadays, he only nipped as warning. But I dread the day he bite cos his mood is a bit unpredictable. Please pardon him as old age promotes crankiness.

(HC : For those humans who have the misfortune to adopt a bitting dog, please do not despair. It takes time to train and build up the respect between dog and handler.)
