Default RE: my dog bit my daughter...

Jackie,

I'm glad that you realized that the "fault" with the biting episode was yours. A one year old child should never have unsupervised interaction with a "new" pet, until all boundaries have been established and trust can be placed in pet, and in some respects, in the child as well (as many children like to pull and prod animals). Although a mature and trusted family pet should be expected to act appropriatey around young-uns, whatever the young-uns actions, a new puppy has to learn what is appropriate, just as a child may have to learn what is appropriate around new pets. Perhaps feed puppy her pig ears in her cage. I bet you don't have any more problems as long as you and your husband act as the supervisors of all parties involved
