Bitten by my dog :(

My dog has bitten me for the 3rd time in 8 weeks last night. This time being the worst, there was bleeding and my hand is very swollen and sore. I'm also 32 weeks pregnant, my DM is saying I need to speak to the Dr but I don't want to make a fuss, I've cleaned it at home.

I'm more concerned about what to do with our dog, my DP has had him from a puppy and he has a history of biting people, especially over toys. He is my little companion who is always by my side and is normally a lovely dog but his unpredictable streak worries me greatly. My DP has said (and I know he's right) that once DC reaches toddling age it won't be a question of if but when the dog will bite him.

Has anyone had any similar experiences with a dog that has been solved with the help of a dog behaviourist?

I'm willing to try anything as I know the options are limited.

I was going to suggest rehoming, and I see you've got that option. I think that's the best solution.

Good luck!

I hope you've got your bite sorted. You should have some iodine to keep the infection in check at least, and hopefully all your tetanus jabs are up to date. Hope you are ok. What a horrible thing.

Id get him re homed with someone with no children and then they can take it from there with strict training and behavioural classes
