Well,
I got bitten by a dog for the first time on tuesday
My new boyfriend that I've been with for 2 months, has moved back in with his parents, 3 weeks ago.
I've been to his parents place about 10 times in the past 3 weeks, His parents have a female dobermen 4yrs old and a min poodle boy thats 3 yrs old.
When I first went there I found out they dont like strangers, So i entered slowly etc etc etc....Each time I went out of my Bf's bedroom they would come up barking (no growling). But then realse it was just me, The poodle would come up to me anytime but the dobermen would only if i was with my bf or sitting in the lounge room with someone, for a pat, but wouldnt come up for a pat if it was just me.
Well, I went there Tuesday got in the front door and then the Dobermen got up off the lounge, I was standing for about 5mins talking to my bf's mum, turned around to go to the toilet and then all of a sudden the dobermen bite me on my back of my topper leg......it hurt sooo much!
I've been there 4 times since Tuesday, each time, she growls at me, I cant walk out of my bf's room by myself if shes around she comes running for me.
Their poodle is fine with me now always comes up to me for pats, but I wont pat him infront of her anymore im just too scared.
I walk my dog each morning (have a female rottweiler) and If i see another person walking a dog....I crap myself and walk the totally oppisite way...I met my aunties resuce staffy yesterday that shes had for 1month that gets really excited when seeing people and ran straight up to me and I was so fearfull!
Whats the best option to get my bfs parents dobermen to like me? to not growl at me or not want to bite me?
Is there a way to tell yourself that not every dog is going to go for me? ... i know dogs arent all bad, Ive had small and big dogs my whole life, just having a really hard time to even go near or see another dog :D
Thanks for reading :p
