Any advise on how to handle a large dog that is playfully injuring you? Dogs Training Discussions
Specifically we have a dog that had aggression problems which by in large has been behaviorally corrected in a humane and professional way. My concern is that we have 4 adults in the family and may be confusing her or making some kind of error. She seems to less inhibited to jump at me or push me, and at 145 lbs of pure muscle it is problem; but she is not trying to cause me any harm, just rough play. If I was a dog her size, this would probably not be any issue, but she does hurt me, without intent. Am I some weak link in the "pack"? Any Suggestions? She is spayed if that matters any.Humane being we did not injure or treat the dog with cruelty while we work on her behavior issues.Profession being that we have professionals training us what to do. She is not perfect, we have a way to go, but has come a very long way, this question would have read should we put down a dog that bit part of my face off - a year ago. So please understand we are not ignorant, we are trying to rescue and help a dog that has issues.
