Has anyone heard of pulling a dogs teeth?

Question

Our dog is a biter. My parents are talking about having a few of his front teeth removed. We put him away when family/friends come over, but he has bitten both me and my sister.

Answer 1

I think it would be much better to hire a reputable dog trainer to teach him not to bite people.  

Answer 2

People like that make me angry. Their lack of control and discipline is not the dog's fault.

This is why you train your dog.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Um, train him.  Pulling a dog's teeth would be ridiculous.  He would still mouth you even without teeth it would be bothersome.  Save the money you would have used for this procedure and get a good dog trainer.

Answer 5

I am a dog owner and i have never heard of that procedure, it sounds pretty barbaric to me, how is you dog supposed to eat properly with out some of its teeth?, i suggest you contact an animal behaviorist to come to your house and help you with your dogs biting. There really is no need to have some of his teeth removed, with the right training i'm sure he'll be a lovely dog.  Good luck

Answer 6

Sounds like he needs some training not to have his teeth pulled.  How is he gonna eat his food?

Answer 7

never remove his teeth by u r self

better  u consult a veterinary doctor near by u  

Answer 8

yes thanks for asking

Answer 9

That is cruel.  I would not allow them to do that.  Take the dog to a training class at Petsmart or something.  Do not do that to your dog.

Answer 10

take him to the dog doctor

Answer 11

Answer 12

You should just take him to a trainer. Pulling a dogs teeth just seems cruel.  

Answer 13

try training him first before you mutilate him.  that usually helps. you need to willing to spend time with your animal.. otherwise let him go to a family who will take the time to see he's happy.  no bad dogs... just bad owners.   get a book or watch the dog whisperer - talk to the vet or take a class.
