Boy have I been through the ringer tonight.
The short version is everything is fine. I'm laying on the bed with remi. He is being sweet playing with his toy. All of a sudden he just changes gears and totally lunges for my face. He bites (or headbutts with his teeth) right above my eye and then he starts gnawing at my hand and wrist. The pain from the blow was pretty bad and all I could really do was shield myself while my husband ran over and basically saved me. Blood is running down my face.
Naturally I cried. But I totally cried for a good half hour because I'm so frustrated that I can't put my guard down with my 7 month bully. He plays way too rough. It doesn't make any sense.. This is not what ive read about this breed.
A lot of you have followed my journey through his nipping and that is mostly done now. At least I thought so. This battle would was the worst yet and I'm just feeling incredibly discouraged. He's not aggressive. He is a bowling ball on legs.
I don't trust him. I obviously can't trust him. According to my trainer he really shouldn't be socializing right now. And most of all, no way is remi good for kids. Hell no.
I know this doesn't make any sense and is ridiculous to say because i know dogs dont think this way, but feeling super resentful. I give him everything I have to give and all he does is hurt me.
Super sad I guess. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for listening to yet another rant. Having a hard time!
