    Thank you all, Max is going to the vet today at 2.30 explained to receptionist who passed me on to the vet who said what most of you said that the dog was scared it was un natural to be picked up like that and may have been injured previously being picked up like that and so was a natural scared reaction and to chastise a dog well after the event when he still would have been traumatised was wrong but there going to check him over to make sure he is ok
    Thanks to everyones advice i was very concerned as he is the most docile dog normally with such and affectionate nature


    Sorry, I referred to your dog as a 'she' I think. Anyway, this is good, sounds like a sensible vet. How does Max seem today, and how's the wife?. Hope the atmosphere is calmer at home?. Good luck at the vets :).

  • 'my wife an hour later then finds out and decides to tell the dog off and send him to the garden hes is big and doesnt obey her command so she grabs his collar to drag him outside and he bites her too .'

    Dog and wife need training. The dog needs to be trained so it follows commands from anyone. The wife needs training so she knows how to give a command that will be obeyed. The wife also needs training not to be so dumb as to punish an animal an hour after something, and then try to drag it around after it bit someone else.

    Don't have dogs if you can't be bothered to train them and the people can't be bothered to learn basic dog sense, that's my advice.

    So you married an idiot and the idiot gene passed to your son? At least you realise that the dog isn't at fault here.

    Get the dog to the vet for a thorough check and then consider having your wife and son committed as they're clearly a danger to themselves and the public at large.

    Rather than posting purely to insult the OP, why not read the thread and you'll discover he has taken his dog to the vet!

    You appear to relish the name calling

    Just because someone's ideas or whys and where fores don't marry with yours, it doesn't make them any less of a person
