The OP posts requesting help for his dog who has just bitten someone.

A poster implies by his post that the dog should probably be put down, another poster says no as he has seen many biting dogs rehabilitated.
The OP says thanks very much as he will not put his dog down and the suggestions have been helpful and then someone else comes on and stirs things and says the poster who suggested leaving the dog alone and that it not be put down is being horrible and should take his opinions elsewhere?????

I don't get it.

If its the first dont worry about it, if its the second, it needs to be put down. Simple as im affraid ;(
A muzzel would be probably good thing to invest in, and asserting your dominance - either standing up if sat and walk towards them slowly making them back up ... eventually to walk away. Ive only ever done this when ive been grizzled at though, not bitten
