compare scenarios and opinion of what the outcome should be.

Does anyone else seem to think that we as a forum tend to give some pretty inconsistent advice? But the same people are not always commenting on each thread.
I think it would be interesting for people to consider each of these scenarios and give an opinion on what they think is needed in each case and why. It only works if you state your opinion for all four scenarios, lets not go off on tangents about one of them.

Four threads on dog bite scenarios:

1. 14 month old puppy, Service dog in training bites nine year old neighbor girl in the face will require plastic surgery, dog has nipped the child's brother in the past. Dog is generally walked with a muzzle on.

2. 12 month old puppy has bitten/attacked mother and 14 year old child many times (family members).

3. On trying to leave the yard, the 11 month old puppy jumps up and gives a minor bite -- 1 puncture and marks, in the upper arm of a ten year old child (I think ten years).

4. 9 year old rescue dog in home for 2 months and instead of saying good night, snaps/connects with the owner's face producing a minor bite wound -- 2 marks, one puncture and bruising.

One thing you have to think about though is not everyone reads every single thread.

I would personally feel uncomfortable assessing ANY of these (even hypothetically) without knowing what has been done so far to control/fix this and its effect.

ie; has the service dog been worked with and does he STILL require a muzzle?

That type of thing.

Can you post the links to all of the threads?

1,2,3,4-

listen to comments on web board and get help finding a professional who can see the dog in its own environment evaluate the situation and help with resoution.

To me the boards should give insight but all these folks need help by someone who can look at the entire situation through objective eyes.

I often just enjoy a good debate, whether I believe in the side I'm taking, or not. I'm aware that my opinion counts for nothing, no one knows who I am and all of the facts could never possibly be presented on an Internet forum... but no one I know in real life will argue with me for 9 days about a golden retriever nipping a bite sleeve
