I feel for you man, I love dogs. But logically everything says its the best thing for the dog (and everyone around it). Six months old is very young, and it sounds like this is a fairly frequent occurance. You only had him a week and now twice attacked you. What if it was someone you cared about? And it can get worse. Go get another one in his place. Its really the best thing to have him put down imo bro. It does happen. It just sucks.

 

yeah sorry man, ive been around dogs my whole life, one of my dogs recently passed away a couple of years ago and she had basically been around since I was little. always sucks to hear about this kind of stuff

 

damn, sorry to hear this noah ... 7 months old is still very young... I'm no expert but it sounds like the dog needs to know who the boss is. ( thats you) don't rush to put it down .. Its still a puppy.

 

Since no one asked.. Is your hand alright?

 

Post pics of dog... that may help.

I do really well with aggressive dogs but I already have two Dobermans at home and my gf doesnt want another alpha type... shes shooting for a yorkie or min pin... kill me.

 

Agree

 

Lay the law down. The dog must respect you in order for him to be properly trained.

 

I agree that the puppy is dangerous, but as far as youthenizing him I would have to disagree. Terriers as a whole are inherently aggressive, but with proper training and discipline this puppy can be changed from his instinctive behavior.

The puppy is young and not set in his ways, dont give up unless you cant find a proper owner.

 

Noah have you tried being very firm and assertive with the dog as in showing your total dominance over it.I can still remember when i was a kid and my dad brought home a albino german shepard....with the pink eyes.My dad and myself had to be quite agressive with the dog as albinos are to say the least a beast if not trained properly.It took a little time but we got her trained and she was fine around us males but the females she would def go after with the least of provacations..........but there was one word that would stop her in her tracks that my dad and myself trained her to obey and it would work for my mom and sister as well as us.Give the training a try with some help as i will never forget that dog as long as i live cause she turned out to be the best friend i ever had......when i was a kid.

 

I am sorry for the decision that you had to make, no owner should
ever have end a family members life
