2 year old Aussie won't stop biting! What do I do?
So a one year ago my sister decided that she wanted a dog. Me being a proud dog owner said "Yay! What kind?" She didn't even know. So we looked on Craig's List for a free dog. She new that if it was free, it needed a home more than any of the dogs you had to pay for. So then we found Sam. He is a beautiful spotted Australian Shepherd. He was 1 year old when we got him. Ever since we got him he never stops biting! My mom always yells at her because Sam bites everyone in site. He bites me all the time. Yeah it hurts but I love him so I get over it, but no. When ever my mom and my sister get into a fight, my mom always brings up, "haven't you seen Mandy's (me) arms? There covered in bruises, because of that dog." I just need help to make him stop biting so that we can keep him. Please help! :confused:
Why are my dogs doing this to me!
I have 4 dogs Order a German Shepherd, Cody a Caring Terrier/Yorkie mix, Sam an Australian Shepherd, and Lilly a Chihuahua. Sam and Lilly treat me like crap. Sam bites and scratches me NON STOP! Lilly does the same if it involves food or a toy. I looks like I get beat and cut myself WHICH I DON'T. So can someone tell me why my dogs do this to me? Oh Order is 7, we don't know how old Cody is, Sam is 2, and Lilly is 1. Ugh I want to be bite and scratch free!
Why do my dogs hate each other?
So I had a German Shepherd named Order since I was maybe 10? Then in 2006 or 7 I found a Caring Terrier which we named Cody. Then last summer we got a Chihuahua named Lilly and later on in the summer we got an Aussie Shepherd named Sam. Order didn't mind when we got Cody and Cody didn't mind Order. Then Cody nor Order minded Lilly. But then Sam came into the picture. Order was REALLY MAD! Then Cody knowing Order as one of the pack's higher dog got mad too. Lilly thought "Yay I get another boyfriend!" and that was gross because she was like a baby. So then Order would attack a toy whenever he saw Sam. I don't know why but I think he was pretending to attack Sam. Then Cody did the same but he would chase Sam barking and growling at him. So Sam and Cody would get into really bad fights. Cody being very very small never won and got the worse wounds. But Sam got some bad bites too. Both thinking that they won they would try to get at each other in the next weeks to prove they were better. Then when Sam moved on to get Order the fights got worse. Since Sam being only 1 won almost all the fights because Order being a FAT 7 year old would not be very stealthy. First we could dump water on them and they would stop. But later on we would have to pull them off each other. Order has had a infected bump on his neck and many bites. Sam has only had a hurt paw. The wounds have healed. Now the must be locked up a lot to keep them from fighting. Order then Sam and so on. But my questions are, why do they fight, how do I stop it, and why does Cody hate Sam and not Order? Please help. Sorry that it is so long.
