Can you afford any special training? We had friends who got a rescue who was a bit bitey, they got some training lessons from someone who specialises in difficult dogs and he's amazingly well behaved now. It was a lot of dedication and work though. Not sure what you've tried but putting the dog into time out as soon as it does the wrong thing can be pretty effective. Definitely tests your patience though. Advice we got was dogs tend to get bitey when they're scared or anxious which often comes from needing more socialisation. Try to get pup out of the house and seeing other people, other dogs, anything you can really.

One of those soft muzzles that open enough to let a dog drink and pant but not bite, maybe? We had one for a while with an over exuberant lab puppy when in public, just to keep her from startling people by mouthing (not biting) them. Worked great, mostly because people are more careful about flailing their hands around a dog with a muzzle, lol. Pet Island probably has some good ideas.

The people coming to your house are rude and your dog doesn't have a enough time for the fight or flight reflex to kick in to choose flight. So fight or is. Have somebody teach the kids how to be dog-polite instead. It's an excellent skill to teach a kid. Animals are not toys, regardless of if their breed is classified as a toy or not. Or give your dog to me. Just kidding I can't afford a dog and don't have time in my schedule to give a dog a happy life. Edit: https://positively.com/contributors/why-dogs-bite-children-a-lesson-in-preventing-dog-bites-in-kids/ Basically, stop blaming the dog. Teach the kids manners and teach your girlfriend how to read your dog's body language for anxiety. It is smaller than everyone around it and nobody is listening when it says,"there are strangers in my personal space who are making me uncomfortable." It doesn't sound like there is anywhere for your pupper to retreat to, so its only option is fight. I know someone here has the cute illustrated guide to making friends with dogs you don't know. The more positive interactions the dog has with strange people, the less nervous it will be with strangers. Edit2: in the article I linked advice, scroll down to the bullet list of suggestions for dealing with your fear-snapping dog. Also, at the end, there are some decent links, including a link to a poster with cartoon representations of dog body language when anxious. Sounds like your girlfriend needs that. Dogbites are very avoidable when the people around the nervous dog are capable of empathy for things that are smaller than them. Bored has a new favorite as of 08:57 on Aug 27, 2019 |

Believe me, I don't blame the dog, she's super sweet but protective, which I'm constantly trying to make my girlfriend understand...I'm a dog person, I wasnt told people were coming over then suddenly there's little kids in the house and my pup is going Cujo. The dog gets out often, I take her on trips, she's around at lest 2 other dogs regularly at other houses. She's very friendly and sweet to people she knows, but the humans in this house besides me don't seem to understand that she's like florida, stand your ground, and you gotta let her warm up to you first. We had a trainer come over once and was confused why we needed a trainer because she was being so sweet...but guess I need go go back down the training route otherwise I'm gonna have to move out

Incredibly thick skulls, so things that might eat them find it's too much effort.

I imagine petting a cheetah is often followed by death. I know cheetahs aren't generally known for attacking humans

You'll still die, just from cuteness instead of maulings. I would like to pet many big cattes, limb loss be damned.

In every picture I've seen of a raccoon kept as a pet, the raccoon is a megachonker. They probably eat from a bowl like a dog or cat until no one's watching, at which point they go through everything else in the house.

The story I've heard is that cat is actually mom, and was brought in to care for the then-baby.
