Biden’s dog bites for 11th time

All those people in the White House and not a one can train their dogs? I’m amazed nobody has sued! I feel sorry for all the staff trying to go about their day in a working environment that has an aggressive dog.

Commander at the White House

Biden dog Commander bites another Secret Service agent

This is the 11th time Commander has bitten a guard at the White House or the Biden family home.

Amazing how they blame the stresses of living in the White House as an excuse, but it appears all the other biting incidents were at their home in Delaware!

Muzzling should be the very first action at least after one biting incident.

If this was the UK it would be PTS

Biden does not seems to know where he is most of the time, or what day it is. Probably does not remember he has a dog. We were rewatching ‘West Wing’ last night and wondered who is actually running the Oval Office, I believe it is unelected Obama, because Biden does not appear capable.

That is disgraceful. Does he have no concern for his staff?

That dog should be on lead and muzzled around people at best and in reality should probably be PTS.

I’m not saying it should be PTS but it should be rehomed in a “less busy” environment and muzzled!

Show quote history

I'm not saying it should either.

HuhWha · 27/09/2023 08:27

It's bitten 11 times. Of course it should be PTS.

Even twice is grounds for that!

Poor dog is living in such a stressful environment, he needs a more suitable home before he causes some serious damage to someone. German shepherd's don't cope well with multiple people handling them, they need a lot of stability, structure and stimulation. No doubt the breed will be labelled as aggressive, no thought will be given to the fact that the living situation is wholly inappropriate for this kind of dog. They need to get a lab or a golden retriever

The other Biden dog, Major, has also been involved in numerous biting incidents with Secret Service agents.

Some people shouldn't be allowed dogs

Ellmau · 27/09/2023 08:34

Reading that article their other dog has had to be rehomed as it too was a multiple biter. Something is not right, is it?

ProseccoandPizza · 27/09/2023 08:34

Just read that with jaw wide open in horror.

nothing at all about background of pup apart from being bought by Biden’s brother as a gift.

No mention of specialised training etc so presumably a random litter of dogs not bred for this kind of lifestyle.

Similiarly no mention of vet checks etc dogs that keep acting in an aggressive manner are high amounts of stress and/or in pain.

FOJN · 27/09/2023 08:35

The Bidens should be banned from owning dogs. The BBC article says that their other GS also has a bite history.

The GS is a very trainable dog breed and the Bidens have failed both of theirs.
