To keep it 103% real with you all, I get scared and mostly upset with a dog when it bites me. I does not happen often, but when it does; I feel some type of way. For a moment or maybe sometime, I do not like the dog. This is something I have learned not to be ashamed of.
To keep it 104% real with you all, everyone feels scared and upset when they are bit by a dog. I wouldn’t be able to understand or believe a person who would who say they would not.
I feel it is important to be not only be aware, but honest about the validity of those feelings.
I found myself entangled in a complex web of emotions with a dog proven dangerous who would be euthanized if he didn’t get better. He bite me on the first date when he was surrendered. It will leave a permanent mark on our future bond, which makes me grappling with a mix of feelings, hurt, and a tinge of fear and hope.
However, as time has unfolded, I discovered that love has the power to transcend even the most challenging circumstances. I get the opportunity to wake up every morning, jump of bed at 4am and step into my actual dreams…
I am a advocate for dogs and the planet. I raise dogs that have be tossed to the side or surrendered based on their behavior. Enzo was and is undoubtedly part of that dream’s journey. This is what made forgiveness possible for me.
Loving a dog who has bitten you requires a deep understanding of the complexities within the mind of a canine. Dogs communicate through body language, and aggression may stem from fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma.
It became crucial for me to approach the situation with empathy, seeking to understand the root of this dude’s behavior rather than reacting or punishing out of resentment.
By investing time in positive reinforcement training and patiently rebuilding trust, I began to witness the transformative power of showing love to a dog who bit me. Our journey together became a testament to the resilience of the human-canine connection, proving that love can heal wounds and bridge the gap between fear and affection.
We make sit happen. #k9dlc
Through this experience, I learned that embracing a dog who has bitten you is not only an act of courage but an opportunity for profound behavioral growth (on both ends of the leash, ya digg?). It all fosters a bond that transcends the scars of the past.
