You can get away with ';playing rough' with the dog because the dog sees you as alpha. He clearly does not see your son as alpha. If you let the dog mouth you, even ';play bites';, and get away with it, you have trained your dog that it is okay to bite people. I think that the ';rough play'; may have contributed to the situation, both with your son's behavior and the dog's. I don't know all the details, so I can't say for sure.





No dog, no mater how well behaved and protective, should ever be left unsupervised with children this young. You are responsible for keeping your children safe and your dog under control. That doesn't mean that situations can't change suddenly, and the accidental poke in the eye by a child can't provoke a bite from a heretofore sedate and unaggressive dog, but from your description, it sounds like your son was copying dangerous behavior you had taught him by example.





Keep your children away from the dog until you can have the dog assessed by a competent professional trainer. We can't give you a true evaluation of this dog over the internet.My american eskimo bit my son on the face lip and eye 3 stitches on the lip?
We had friends over at the house and their little kid got nipped by our dog (no stitches required though). It wasn't a big deal because the kid literally seized the dog by the ears and yanked. If it was something like that, where your son was harassing the dog, it's probably not a behavioral problem; the dog was just telling him to quit.





You have to watch the dog. If while your son is around, you see the dog's tail go down, it seems to be trying to escape or corners iself, or it wrinkles its muzzle, you should immediately remove your son from the situation; teach him to leave the dog alone when it does that.





There are situations when dogs hurt children (and other dogs) very unintetionally. Younger dogs like to wrestle by jumping, mouthing, body checking. If your dog's tail is up, his ears are perked, and his mouth hangs open loosely (without a wrinkled muzzle) he is simply trying to play. You must teach him your son is not another puppy, but a master. If you don't he may try to mouth your sons hands, feet, or back, and tackle him to the ground (which is how dogs play). Teach your son that if the dog chases him or jumps on him, to stop-turn the opposite direction and say NO!. YOu will need to help reenforce your sons commands at first, but the dog should get it after a while.





Also, you want to positively re-enforce to the dog that your son is not an annoying menace. Play with them together watchfully. Have your son stay between your legs and roll the ball to the dog, or let the child give the dog a treat when it sits or comes home from a walk.





But this is always a very difficult situation, because animals are ANIMALS and sometimes their behavior can be unpredictable. There's really no way of knowing 100% something like this will never happen again. It's all about reading the dogs body language, and trying to get a grip on the beahvioral patters. It may be best to bring a professional dog trainer t observe them play together tand see what they think.





Hope your son gets better!
You need a full and proven training program.

While it's not always the dogs fault. First of all how old is your child and what set your dog off. Children pull ears and tails and that does hurt a dog. That's their only way for them to stop the pain. Teach your child also how to respect the dog's space. I think he/she can be trusted, plus to many give up on their pets to easily. When people bring in a pet to a shelter for biting some times the dog will just be put down. So please give them a second chance no one wants a dog be put down for a fixable problem.
I do believe when a dog bites a child in the face, then find out what that brat of a child did to that dog. Just remember no dog starts out bad, they are forced to be that way, because of the actions of the most stupid creatures God ever created, ';humans';
How old is your son and what were the circumstances that preceded the bite? How long have you had the dog and how old is he?





Until you can retain a professional trainer, your son should not be left unsupervised with the dog.





More information would be helpful.
NO.
Depends on the circumstances in which your son was bit. Without more details there is no way to say for sure whether he can be trusted again or not.





ADD: Don't take this the wrong way but the blame for this lies with you. Your son was copying and more than likely caused the dog pain. Animals only do one of two things when pain is inflicted, they take it/move away or they react. From now own no more rough housing with the dog in front of your son. Your son was under the impression that it was ok to play like that without realizing he could actually hurt the dog.





1. If the dog isn't already in obedience classes sign him up.


2. Sit down with your son and explain to him that it wasn't his fault the dog, but that he can't play with the dog like that. As your daughter you need to make her aware of this as well. Show your kids how to properly play with your dog and if the dog is hesitant to approach you son you will have to re teach him that your son will not hurt him. Have your son, give him treat, put the leash on him to take him walking, help fill his food and water bowls etc.
