Brodie had done this a few times to my daughter and I can't really figure out why. Maybe jealousy? My daughter is 4 and about 3 or 4 times now Brodie has leaped at her and hit her in the face with his face. He is not biting her, more like raming her but when he has done it his tooth has caught her once on the lip and once on right under her eyebrow. I do not know how to get him to not do it, or why he is doing it. I don't think he is trying to play with her either??? Anyway a few weeks ago he did it to her and hit her under her eyebrow, the top of her eyelid and there was two holes from his teeth. I can honestly say I was more mad at him then I have ever been. If he would have been just a little lower he would have gotten her eyeball then we would have a MAJOR problem. I popped him on his butt a few times, not hard at all as I do not believe in hitting pets, but I needed him to understand that is not acceptable, then I put him in the other room and said a few choice words to him, Lol. I was very angry with him. I cleaned my daughter up and got her calmed down. He stayed in time out for about 30 mins then I let him out and was constantly telling him how he can't jump on people or hit people. My mom told me he didn't understand what I was saying or why I was so mad. WRONG!!! About a week ago he did it again but not hard and his tooth didn't catch her. As SOON as he touched her he layed down on the ground and curled up and looked up at me with those droopy eyes so sad looking. Then he got on the bed and layed on the bed for 30 mins. I didn't even say one word to him about what had happened. He knew exactly what he did and that it was wrong and was immediatly sorry he did it. He has not done it since then. I think his feelings were extremly hurt when I was so angry at him but I think he also learned that he can't do that. So I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will not happen again being that he doesn't want me mad at him.
