Luke biting his lip. I think its so funny, We always laugh and tell him there is something wrong with his lip and he just tilts his head looking puzzled.

I do agree that is exactly what happened. The human natural reaction is to back away or pull. Like I said Luke never closes his jaw. We call it baby bite or fake bite because your entire arm could be in his mouth but he won’t close lol He really does know that biting to hurt someone is not ok. I really don’t think he meant to hurt anyone and the bike incident maybe even was his prey drive instinct….who knows but no more off leash for him outside of our fenced in yard.

Thanks for the advice, hopefully it never ever gets to that point, where the cops have to be called.

Thank you BasG I do agree with you totally that was my error and my fault 100%,  for letting him off leash with the bike incident. I do feel that the other instance with the little girl it was totally her fault as I was in my property and she is obviously scared of my dog yet she teases him and then goes and approaches from nehing…actually I take that back I think its her mother’s fault for not educating her about the dangers of her behaviour. With that being said since he is my Dog and I care for him deeply and love him as my child I should have been more cautious especially knowing this girl was around.

Luke really is amazing off leash, we have taken walks, runs, swam and done all this things without incident with him off leash…as a matter of fact he does better off leash except when there are bikes around. He is even trained to go on the side walk when given the command or when a car approaches I know accident can happen but for the most part cars don’t pose a threat to him as he will jump in the sidewalk as soon as one approaches. I think the best thing to do in never leave him off leash in the front yard or where there are bikes and also train him to be around them because his fear of them makes him unpredictable and out of control. I disagree with Tina that abut bite play. I have been doing this with him since he was 10 weeks old as he used to bite so hard as a puppy and it wasn’t going away so I taught him that his bites hurt me so he learned just how hard he can bite without causing pain in human skin, I feel that this helped in the situation with the kids, had he never played bite with us he would have probably bit them with full force. The other dog we adopted came to us no knowing how hard to bite and often would hurt luke and us but he so far has learned that is not ok to bite that hard.

We got ours from RuffWear and it came with 2 water pouches. You can fit much on it once the pouches are filled but its great for adding weight. Fits tight and if can keep one pouch out and put some snacks.
