I’m mad at whoever is in charge of these dogs. Biting is a sign that their boundaries are not being respected and that there is something wrong in the way they are being handled/interacted with. I have a strong suspicion that they’re punished for growling, which is the fastest way to train your dog to bite you with zero warning.
After one bite incident they should have been muzzled 24/7. There should never be an opportunity for a second bite. That is a dramatic failure on the part of the humans who should be setting these guys up for success. As a veterinarian I would face legal liability, to the point of license forfeiture, if someone came to me saying their dog had bitten someone and I did not immediately instruct them to muzzle the dog. This makes me so mad.
Obviously they’re all fuckups in the White House but this behavior is insultingly negligent.
If anyone needs resources or is struggling with managing their own dogs behavior this is the holy grail: How to Behave so Your Dog Behaves
You're probably right, which riles me up even more. You have an opportunity to set a good example for THOUSANDS of people who deal with reactive dogs, but you actively choose to play dumb and act like its somehow the secret services' fault that you suck as a reactive dog owner.
This is literally a case of legal liability that they are flagrantly ignoring. Any joe shmoe in the same situation would face court dates and possible mandated behavioral euthanasia if they were this negligent with their aggressive dog. It's a slap in the face to people who take their dogs reactivity seriously and work to address it.
Also, you're the fucking president of the United States. Stop getting penis dogs. You don't need a German Shepherd or Malinois to make you feel like a Big Man, and you clearly suck at owning them. Just get a Lhasa Apso or a Pomeranian that will just bounce around being a happy little marshmallow and stop putting your animals and staff at risk because of your bullshit ego.
Edit: I also know that this is a dumb thing to get super worked up about but it's just a microcosm of the fuckups of the whole administration and I'm taking it personally lol
I mean not if you're actually looking at the story and remember last time. But this story isn't going to get a ton of airplay, and it can be (less and less convincingly) played off as "the dog's fault" not biden's. If there were video of him biting it would get tons of play though, same as if there were a photo of the dog in a muzzle (which would be harder to keep under wraps)

PR people probably said no muzzle it looks bad

It doesn't exactly look better that this is the second time in his term that he has raised a dog who's biting all the staff.
