Biden's dog bites again! #11 NOW #12!

After the first bite the dog should have been permanently removed from the White House grounds.

That dog should have been gone after the first bite. Keep it around for 10 more bites, one of which required going to the hospital? AND, this is the second dog they've had that's bitten people. How dare they subject anybody around those dogs to a possible attack. Fucking idiots.

An aggressive dog like that needs to have a dedicated handler, who will train it and socialize it correctly. I am assuming that different people are walking it, perhaps feeding it, etc. A purebred German Shepherd can be a dangerous dog. A dog bite is nothing to be taken lightly. I love dogs, but would not keep one that bites people as a house pet. The part that scared me was where it said that Mrs. Biden could not control it when it was about to attack the agent.

Commander sounds like a good candidate for the K-9 unit of the army.

German Shepards are very protective of their families. The WH does not seem to be a good environment for them.
Commander should have been removed long ago.

Maybe he feels they're too close to his people and it's causing aggression? He doesn't like their protective vibe? Their gear? Their energy? They're all starting to get nervous because he's a known biter, and he can sense that? Whatever it is, he clearly doesn't like the cut of their jib.

Definitely not a good fit for him, for sure.

I’ve always loved my pets as much as anyone, but there is no way I would keep a pet who had bitten eleven people. Especially if some of the people my dog had bitten were secret service agents who had sworn to put their lives on the line to protect my life.

Are the Bidens waiting for that dog to rip into someone’s face and permanently disfigure them before they do something about that dog? I just can’t imagine working in an environment where you had to worry that at any minute the boss’ dog might turn on you and attack.

This dog hasn’t been properly trained to be in situations like this. We have a close friend who does dog training including but not limited to police dogs, drug dogs, bomb dogs, executive protections dogs, etc. His personal dogs will growl and bark at me until a single word from him. Then they’re all friendly and want to play. They are protective until given the command and aren’t aggressive unless attacked, their person is attacked, or they’re given a command to attack. This article makes me wonder if someone is provoking the dog but I’d bet it’s a lack of consistent, high level training. Just my opinion…

That is ridiculous!

My brother-in-law passed away a year ago. His 12 pound Shorkie, Marly was his most prized possession. About 4 months ago my sister had Marly out on a walk and a neighbors unleashed German Shephard attacked him. The neighbors claimed it had never happened before and that their dog was only trying to play with Marly (apparently by sinking it's teeth into his lung). Marly was taken to an emergency vet but passed away before they could help him. It was traumatic for my sister on so many levels... witnessing the attack, losing such a strong link to her husband so soon after her husband's death, not wanting bad neighborly relations but afraid if it's not reported another dog or CHILD could be attacked. Her kids finally convinced her to report it and come to find out it was not the first time the dog attacked another dog. But he was taken from the residence.

That's awful. I am shocked that it has been allowed to happen 11 times! I just googled the regulations in my state, and a quick précis:

A dog will be declared a "menacing dog" if it causes a non serious bite injury to a person or animal, or if it rushes at or chases a person. ("Rushes at" means it comes within 3 metres of a person and is growling or barking at them.)

If the dog has been declared a dangerous or menacing dog, and it bites or attacks another person, the owner may be charged and be liable for fines and possible imprisonment. 

A menacing dog declaration can be upgraded to a dangerous dog declaration if the owner has been issued with two infringement notices for failed to comply with requirements such as leashing or muzzling their dog in public.

That was Major and he was rehomed. This is about Commander.

I'm not a dog person, but that is definitely excessive.
I think that rehoming the dog seems to be the best plan.

They should have removed the dog a long time ago. There really is no excuse at this point. Clearly something about the secret service agents is causing him to bite. Maybe they are getting too close, but they are doing their jobs and if the dog can't handle it, remove him!

If the owners can’t control the dog, they need to find a qualified owner If handler training is believed to be the only problem or the dog be put down because the current owners aren’t responsible adults. Shame on Joe and Jill for not being concerned about the welfare of White House personnel. Perhaps the bitten SS officers should sue them in order to get them to be more responsible pet owners. The Biden’s have deep pockets and it seems to be the American way to sue people. I’m usually against seeing, but those 2 need a wake up call.

Why in the freaking world is the dog not muzzled when others are around??? Muzzles keep the dog and everyone else safe. Muzzle training is fun and interactive for the dog (done properly). There are basket muzzles a dog can drink through and even be given a treat (by a person they aren’t going to bite obviously as you poke it thru!)

My daughters border collie is a hot mess and she muzzled trained her and she loves her basket muzzle. Because it means she is going out in public so that’s fun! Polly looks a little scary maybe wearing it but she doesn’t know that. And she can go in crowded places and if she has a crazy moment everyone is safe! Polly actually hasn’t had any of those moments in years, intensive training and meds made her a very wonderful dog. But, not taking the risk, ever.

This is not hard, how have they let this continue?!
