dog question reply
First of all thank you very much for answering my question. But second of all I NEVER said that i kept him on a chain we have an enclosed backyard and he has a REALLY big space to run around in. Also my mom doesnt likes dogs so he is not aloud to come inside i wish she wasn't this way, but its her house so I have to abide by her rules. And by disciplining him I ment defending myself, I couldn't get away from him biting me if i didnt try and push him in the other direction. Its not like i would just hit him for no reason im not cruel. And what I said before I hadnt done anything to him I just stood there he just decided to jump up and bite me. I just didnt know what to do so I asked you. I just wanted to clear things up for ya there.
But i really appreciate you answering my question!
thnx soo much!

That is the reason why I apoligized for being rude a couple of times in my answer. Everything else remains the same.
To be perfectly honest, you probably shouldn't own a dog if it's not allowed inside. If you are still living with your parents, and your mother hates the dog, then the dog is going to pick up on that and live with a lot of hate in it's life. Dogs can sense a lot more than we can, they can sense when someone is feeling something like stress or hatred, and every time that person comes around, they are going to react to it. Your dog may one day bite your mother and hurt her very badly.
I don't agree with keeping a dog outside 24 hours a day because dogs need human contact. They are not meant to be living alone. Even wild dogs do not live alone, they live in packs. I really don't know if this problem can be fixed without letting him in the house so that he can be a real family dog.
Try to other methods that I gave you.. (ignore the bad habits, praise the good habits).. and perhaps he will get better.
You can do that basically by walking in the other direction and going inside. When you come back out, if he is behaving, then praise him and give him treats.
I would also suggest teaching him tricks. Teach him how to sit, lay, roll over, give paw.. all that good stuff.
It may just be that he is bored, and need to keep his mind busy. Take him for walks too. Teaching him how to walk on a leash will help immensly. It will also be very fun for him.
I do hope everything works out ok, but again... I do not agree with owning a dog to only put it in the backyard to live alone.

Show your mother this website. Tell her that dogs who live alone outside are the first dogs to turn aggressive and bite. Tell her I watched my puppy be mauled by an aggressive dog who suddenly got off his chain and out of the fence that he was in when I was 7.
