  1. I have a problem and I really don't know what to do about it. I have a dog- he's a lab/ border collie mix. I got him from the pound when he was 7 weeks old he is now 2. He does what I have come to know as "Fear bite." He is quite timid around most people. I have a 19 year old daughter who just moved in about 3 weeks ago. Her and the dog do not get along. I feel that it is mainly her fault because she insists on being mean to him. The other evening, she had been yelling at him and shaking a stick at him. He bit the stick and broke it two different times. Then she poked him with a pen. He bit her. He broke the skin, but it wasn't real bad. She went into the kitchen and got a meat cleaver. I tried to stop her, and the dog jumped up on her to calm her down because we were both screaming at this point. She then hit him with the meat cleaver and split his head open. I took him to the emergency vet and they stitched him up. He is fine, but my daughter is thinking of moving out. I don't want to lose my daughter, and I don't want to get rid of my dog either. I love him like a child. I really don't know what to do. They can't live in the same house, because the dog has started growling at my daughter if she gets too near. I was thinking of baording him until my daughter moves out. Any suggestions? Am I being selfish by not getting rid of the dog?
