Call in the spca, let them handle the situation. If the dog bites a kid, it's not funny anymore, is it? The parent of the biten child will kill the dog, no doubt.

How about if you just don't go over to your friend's house anymore?
Hey this is no joking matter. That is a terrible way to kill an animal. you are a coward and a jerk if you lower yourself to these standards.
That being said, Dave is a pure jerk if he is allowing this animal anywhere near guest. A law suit is what he needs.
But coming up with a simple solution is what is needed. I advise him getting a top of the line muzzle to place on the dog when he allows it in the house or around people!
The dog need Obedience training! it does work, I garuntee it, my wife has trained me very well, oh yea our three Rhodesian Ridgebacks also!
The training is actually for the owner and not the dog. the training teaches a dog owner how to spend the needed time each day that is needed for the animal to learn what is right and wrong. he would need a choker collar for training purposes only, this may have to be exchanged for a pinch collar which has the spikes on it. this collar is used for more aggressive or larger dogs (my biggest one has to use one). Knowing what is right and wrong is very important for the animal but knowing how to follow orders (Like No Spot) is even more important. Obedience training has saved more unruly dogs from being put down then rescue shelters for pets. The problem is in getting your friend to understand his responsibility as a dog owner.
If he is too lazy to try the above he should at least get a shock collar with a remote control. with this he should start with a simple command of no with a shock following right behind it (like putting something on the table that interest him and when he moves toward it you speak no then shock him). this may sound cruel but the shocks are not that bad and it is more important for his long term health to learn right from wrong.
If these are not options for his liking then I recommend that he start looking for a rescue group for this type dog.
I would at least get the muzzle (even if you have to buy it yourself. just bring it over only when you visit).
Give the dog laxative so it craps all over his house or leave the backyard gate open by "accident"
So i'm watching the game at a friend's house and his roomate lets the dog in...the dog has tried to bite me before and the owner(Dave) thinks it's funny(half hearted aplologies notwithstanding).The dog seems happy to be inside and is being cool to everybody,me included.......So Reg leaps into the endzone and I jump up and scream(as I should) and the dog goes bonkers......bites my calf, tears my jeans, I fall on the coffee table and spill crap everywhere....dog runs as I try to smite it(It's a Fat Blue Heeler dingo lookin sucker)........ruins reggies first TD......
later.......
I go outside to smoke with my friends and the dog impedes my path, I try to go around and he bites again... I go to beat the dog down and Dave is like"you waited too long, you can't hit her now..."
So I go inside and continue to watch the game and begin to get angrier and angrier and tell dave "Next time , if your dog gets broken up, It's your fault, not mine".He seems teary cause he loves his dog Or he thinks I'm gonna beat him up or whatever. So I leave IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME and watch us lose at Daquiri Supreme.......
Dillema....I can't stop getting angry(I cannot overstate how mad I am).....I can't let it go....It's like a switch was flipped and Either that dog dies (or gets severely maimed) or Dave gets the 1-2 .............
Saints lose, Both Fantasy teams lose, But the bite made WAY more angry than either of those......I look to you guys for some support or guidance or calming or something...Cause right now the only thing between me and that Dog is my fear of Jailtime.............
P.S.
Dave is a rich lawyer
The dog is nuts...Dave says he can't train it(even with food) and he says he tries to beat it but it forgets the beating, and will bite you when offering it food...I swear I have tried to make peace with the dog(I love animals) but it's nuts.....he won't euthanize it...The dog has crossed the line and I fear I will do something cruel very soon.help
Blue heelers can be sneaky dogs. Don't like them. Never have. But having said that, some guys on here are right - it's not the dog's fault. The owner is wholly and solely to blame. The owner is a lawyer and presumably intelligent. The dog has a brain the size of a pea.
Tell the lawyer you'll only come to his place if he locks the dog away.
Well, me personally, Im a dog lover. I love my dogs as much as I love my daughter. They are fairly well behaved, and usually not aggressive. However my older dog hates me on Sundays. She hides from me as soon as the game comes on and doesn't come out till an hour or so after. But, if someone else were in my house doing the same things I do, scream, yell, punch the couch, throw the remote ect ect ect, she would probably do exactly what Dave's dog did. Now, your friend should have warned you this may happen, I definitely would tell anyone that came in house to be calm around the dog. In the event something did happen, they had been warned. Now no matter who it was, no matter how bad it was, if you had been warned and my dog attacked, its your fault. If you touch my dog in anger, I will retaliate violently. Just my personal feelings here, but the dog is only protecting its self and its home, doing what dogs are supposed to do. So to sum things up, Don’t mess with my dog. However, if I were you, I would ask Dave to buy me a new pair of jeans.
it's complicated
