My dog bites. Are there other options besides putting him down?

Question

Dog bitting has become uncomfortable. Is euthanization the only option? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 7 months old | 50.7 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

No, euthanasia is not the only option for Reo. I would recommend speaking to your vet about enrolling him in with a professional behavioral expert. Sometimes aggression can be trained, and I would give him that chance first before putting him to sleep. I would also recommend neutering him, as that can reduce some aggressive behaviors as well.
