Can you trust a dog that has always been mild mannered, that suddenly lunges at your son while growling?
My husband and I were playing a game on the playstation and my eleven yr. old son was sitting behind us in the floor with the dog. She was laying on her side so he reached over her and pulled on her back trying to get her to roll over when she lunged at him growling. She jumped far enough that she hit him in the face. However she did not bite but left slobber on his face. We chose to give her back to my uncle for fear of her next outburt. She has never been aggressive with me or the children ever. She has always been calm even when they laid on her. I felt very betrayed and angry by her action. Why would she have done this? She didn't even whine when the vet scraped her head until it bled, so I know he could not have hurt her that bad. If he did she did not whine or yelp but only seemed to be angry for a brief moment like something out of the twilight zone. She is a lab so she could've done alot of harm if she wanted to.
Please do not answer unless you are a trained professional
Any dog may snap or bite when sufficiently provoked. They can only be pushed so far. The question is whether you can trust your *child* around the *dog*. Grabbing the dog by the skin of her back and trying to force her into a different position when she has been resting is inconsiderate at best, and at worst (say with a different dog, or a strange dog) mind-blowingly foolish.
Your dog had every right to object. All she did was say "Hey--Cut that out!!" What you saw was an 'inhibited bite', the same kind mother dogs use to correct pups, or that dogs who are playing will use on each other if one of them gets too rough. Fine, she's a domesticated animal and a pet...but even our pets have their dignity, need their space, and deserve a little respect. Not a bad lesson for the kid to learn.
Since it was a one-time incident, and the dog showed restraint in her corrective action, I see no reason to banish the dog (talk about betrayal!) *if* the child can be taught to respect her boundaries.
