Dogs typically bite because they feel threatened. They feel the need to protect their owners and the things important to them.

When they get startled or scared, they tend to bite as well. What should pet owners do when their dog is a biter?

Whether your dog is a puppy or an adult, it can be trained to stop this behavior. First, you need to identify the cause of their biting habit.

Once you're aware of the cause, you can start addressing the bad behavior. Experts say that positive reinforcement can help your pet get rid of the habit.

But once you see that the behavior is getting severe, it's time to seek the help of a professional trainer or behaviorist. They'll evaluate the situation and give you the proper training plan for your dog.

Today's story from the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit is about a man whose girlfriend owns a dog. He tells the community that although he and the dog were friends, he hates this one behavior of the dog.

His girlfriend's dog is a biter. It would bite someone's foot the moment it touches the dog.

The original poster (OP) told his girlfriend that the dog should not go to sleep with them in the bed as he is afraid that it'll bite him during his sleep. But his girlfriend won't listen to him.

He is pissed off at the dog and wants to seek judgment from the community because of the way he feels toward it.

The guy decided to ask the community about what he feels toward his girlfriend's dog.

The OP doesn't hate the dog. But it has a behavior problem.

The dog is a biter. It attacks the OP, house guests, and his daughter.

He already made it clear that the dog shouldn't sleep with them on the bed.

The girlfriend won't listen. So it bites him even while the OP is asleep.

He told his girlfriend do train her dog, but she's given up on teaching her pet.

The dog has other behavior problems. That's why the OP is pissed at the dog.

Redditors don't agree with the girlfriend. They believe that she can still train her dog.

The OP can open up about hiring a trainer.

Living like this is equivalent to being a bad example to his daughter.

The girlfriend needs to understand that her dog needs a professional trainer.

A Redditor points out that she has lack of respect for him.

The situation is not something this Redditor expected from an educator.

The girlfriend needs to consider the risks. What would she do if her dog fatally attacks a person?

The dog isn't giving a good life with its current owner.

It's unfair how the girlfriend lets her dog treat the OP and his daughter harshly.

These behavior problems are fixable with proper training.

If it bites people other than its owner, the dog is already dangerous.

This Redditor considers the girlfriend's attitude a dealbreaker.

Someone needs to walk this dog so it won't poop and pee on the balcony.

Why isn't the girlfriend doing something about the dog when it's making their patio disgusting and biting people at home?

The OP needs to stop tolerating his girlfriend's attitude as a dog owner.

People understand why the OP gets pissed off. But he can't allow things this way.

He needs to stand his ground by not letting the dog on their bed. He needs to re-open their conversation about dog training as well.

The OP shouldn't wait for the worse to happen. He needs to discuss this issue with his girlfriend.
