I keep my dogs separated from the 15 month old for everyone’s safety.
I think the dog should be put another room or crated while your visiting if they are going to keep the dog.
Dogs carry lots of germs . Is dog update on shots? Dog needs be put outside or garage when you go for visit.
If they won’t pen the dog up when you visit, they should come to your house, if they want to see their grandchildren. No way would I take my child back there.
Don’t punish the dog for being a dog. Keep the dog away from kids, but also teach the kid how to act with dogs.
No you are not wrong! That dog if aggressive before needs to be locked away while you are visiting. Usially dog bites are reported to the law.
I always heard that when a dog bites anyone and they go to the hospital for treatment that the police were notified and investigate the incident
The dog needs to be put up when your child comes over or your child doesn’t need to come over 🤷. That’s my opinion
The dog should never be allowed around the child again. It should be kept in a separate room while the child is there.
Do not continue to put your child in a situation that is terrifying to him. Grands can come to you without the dog.
Let your family come to your house to visit. Don’t push your son into doing this. He has to know that you will always have his back and will always protect him.
Let the grandparents visit in your home or tell them the dog needs to be locked up when you visit. Do not cut ties.
Maybe the dog should have to wear a muzzle when around small children.
I agree. Have them come to your house. His fear will actually provoke the dog to bite again because of fear
Why can’t the dog be put somewhere else, in another room, etc. while your son visits? Under the circumstances I think your mother is being unreasonable for you to expect less.
Just make sure the animal is cag3d or behind closed doors when visiting. He obviously does not like kids
When my son had stitches from a dog bite in the face . The hospital had to report it to police
This was a problem with my sisters dog with my grandchildren. She muzzled the dog when they came.
Make them come to you don’t go to their house until dog is either locked away when you are visiting or muzzled when you visit
I would like to see both sides of the story before making a comment.
A dog can bite for many reasons. Its not right but all facts should be presented.
Im sure the doctor reported it.
Why was your son at risk with a dog proven biter ??no keep your son away from dog say we need to stay safe so don’t go over .
They could at least lock the dog away from him while he visits until he is older.
Steal the dog and put to adoption, just don’t get caught.

Have grandma and grandpa come to ur house. They shouldn’t expect u to bring ur kids back unless they cage dog when u are there.
This is common sense that child is already traumatized do not put that child in that situation again your child comes first. If that child gets attacked again you are to blame.
My opinion your grandchildren should always come before a dog

Sorry but if the a dog had bit my child I’d demand the dog is put more so if it the first or second tme it could kill a child or a baby next time I’d never take my child round there ever again yiu can’t trust and dog after that
They need to be accountable for their dog for what he did.
They need to put the dog in another room while your kids are around . That’s not to much to ask since it did bite your child and their grandchild …
Sounds to me like Grandma is choosing the dog over the grandbaby. I would not go to her house again. If it was my dog it would have been dead before the day was over.
I have three fur babies and I have 9 grandkids and 2 great grandkids and one on the way and I will not give up my fur babies kids come over I put my fur babies outside and I do this because my fur babies don’t like kids.
Do not take your child around that dog ever again the dog needs a home where there are no children no visitors
Don’t you dare take that baby back there until something is done about that dog!
If one of my dogs and I have 6 were to bite one of my grandchildren or great grandchildren I would have to get rid of the dog now my dogs will bite only if you try to mess with one of the little ones
No visit till dog is gone, your child should be more important, I think once they realize your serious they’ll come around, if not, how good of grandparents are they really?
No you are not wrong. Your parents should have the dog put down before it kills someone. Don’t take your son to their house until they do something about it
No, I love my dog, but if she hurt any of my babies I would put her down. That’s it.
Worries me that even if dog is in another room, someone may accidentally let dog out. Have parents visit you.
No more visits unless you put the dog away that atack on your son will forever change his vew of dogs
They would have to put the dog in another room as long as you are there or don’t go. The grandparents can come to your home. Just don’t bring the dog.
I would not go back and I wouldn’t make my son go either. They made their choice now you make yours. Not an easy road.

Does your son pick on the dog ? my grandson kicked my other Daughter dog he didnt bite him but you need to watch him.
If they don’t put the dog away when your child is there, have them put a muzzle on the dog when you are visiting. If they object Do Not Visit.
One time to many, my child wouldn’t go there with dog out, your mom needs to prioritize…grand baby First
I would ask the grandparents to put the dog in a kennel when you are there

They need put dog in a kennel when you are there or don’t go there. Stitches told me that hes doing damage.
It’s not hard to put the dog in a crate or another room for the few hours you are there throughout the week. Both sides would have to make a compromise
Was a police report made if so the dog should be quarantined and could be considered a dangerous animal
My daughter had a dog that was a little nutty just have your mom put him up when you come over.
Dogs can sense fear. Keep him away from the dog. Please!
Not the first time put the dog down.
Next time might do something you could never forgive your parents for
The dog needs to be locked away from the children when they are visiting.
Sorry your child is going thru this. Perhaps they will have to come to your home if they keep the dog.
Put the dog down or give it to a childless family. It will be worse next time
Keep the dog and your child apart. Talk to your mom about keeping her dog in bedroom with a gate that it can’t get through while you visit. Dogs have feelings too.
Something needs to be done especially if this is not the dogs first time being aggressive
The dog should be kept separate when children are around but you should not expect them to give up their dog
If one of my dogs bit my grandchild I would shoot the dog myself! I love my dogs but no way!
In my state, once the dog bit someone, it would be quarantined to check for rabies and then after the quarantine, it would automatically be put down. This rule is for the safety of everyone. From what I was told, once a dog bites, it will continue to bite
I put my dog in her crate when the kids are here… she has snapped at the babies feet when they run and play… that being said if she actually bit her I would give her away!!
They should know better when the kids come put the dog away it’s stupid to trust the dog I would not take my kids there !!!
You are not wrong. Your Mom must take appropriate and responsible measures to prevent her dog from causing any more injuries to any one else. When a dog has caused an unprovoked injury requiring medical attention it is more apt to do it again. The dog needs immediate intervention and corrective training by an experienced dog trainer/behavioralist. Based on your account I strongly suspect the dog’s aggressive behavior, particularly around little people, is beyond your Mom’s knowledge or capability to adjust.
I would be sure to photograph the injuries your son has received and get a copy of the medical visit and put them in a convenient place. If your Mom is unwilling to take necessary precautions during your visits, you must turn a report into the city or county animal control office. They need to start a file on this animal to track it’s history. This information is especially vital for the animal control office to have available in the event the dog bites again. It might seem drastic to report your Mom’s dog, but if she doesn’t comprehend the necessity of protecting all children from her dog, it is up to you.
Good luck, and I do hope your Mom is willing to do everything possible to help her dog become balanced and well behaved.
don’t go anymore till they agree to put dog in kennel when he visits. Or say we won’t be coming over anymore so long as dog is there. can’t have dog attacking boy
That’s very dangerous and very irresponsible of grandparents to expect you to bring your child where that dog is, if they want to see their grandchild let them visit you. If my dog bit my grandson I would kill him myself.
If the dog bit your son. Report it. Animal control should be contacted
Wow! I can’t believe this is an issue for you. Separate the dog and your son before the dog the dog does some serious damage to him.
I had the same situation my mom’s dog bit my daughter and so we just put the dog in another room of the house while we were there and that seemed to work out okay
They can either put the dog in a room when you visit, they can visit you without the dog or they can see their grandchild via pictures. No compromises beyond those three
I don’t think much of your parents if my dog bites one of my grandchildren or any child goodbye dog
Your Kids Come First no Matter What, They need to put the Dog Away when your kids are Around Period!!!
My question is what happened? Did it just get aggressive or did the kiddo accidentally step on it or get up in its face? If it just acted aggressive then I’d say heck no don’t take the kid back… If it was something like the kiddo was trying to show love and got in its face or accidentally hurt it I would give it another shot cuz dogs can only say how they feel in a few short ways… Growling… Snapping or cowering etc… Good luck
I would not be taking my child there. If you have no dogs. Then they can visit at your home.
Some dogs just dont do well with kids. Its a shame this happened. I wouldnt want my child scared of dogs. I would just tell them they have to keep the dog put away while you are there.
First of all what kind of dog is it and how old is it
perhaps the grandparents need to contain the dog while you visit…gate the dog in another room.
Either ask your parents to put the dog in a crate temporarily while you are visiting… Or have them come to your house
You have to remember that dog is their child!!!

It was simple from the start, keep the dog away from the kids, a lot of dogs don’t like kids.
Stay away from that dog before it mauls your son to death it doesn’t like him for some reason.
Ask them to visit you in your home, and don’t bring the dog. You should not even ask your son to see the dog again. And how would you feel if he gets bitten again.
Ask them to please put dog away somewhere where it can’t have any opportunity to be around your son
They can put the dog in it’s kennel or in another room while the grandchild is there.
I would Refuse to go visit her unless she puts the dog outside or lock him up in another room when you visit. It’s up to her if she wants to see her Grandson or not.
Either put up the dog or get rid of the dog or we don’t come over!!! Why would there be any question that it’s not ok to subject your child to this physical and mental torture?
They should not expect you to re-introduce the dog to your child but knowing he had bitten him before why did you allow him around the dog.
Let your parents come to your house to see the children. Never leave the dog and the child alone together.
If my dog bit one of my grandkids in the face or anywhere on their bodies that required stitches or regardless of that then I would have one dead dog…
My mother used to kennel her dogs when my step sister would come and visit because she didn’t like dogs
Don’t allow the child over there, you can go without the child if you want, but if a dog bites a child once that’s enuf, the parents can visit the child at your house
They need to put the dog I. Another room gate /fence / crate Whatevr when you are there , totally reasonable
Maybe just kennel the dog while your boy is at their house I get his fear I was bit by a doberman at 5 so I would suggest kenneling him
Buy them a silk and mesh muzzle like the vets use. When the children are around have them put it on him- her. I naught one at my vets.
Home owners insurance should pay hospital… plus damages… see if the dog is worth it then…?
When the child is at grandparents just have them crate the dog or put it in another room.
Just keep the dog and child apart. But your parents should pin the dog up out of respect for you and your son.
If your IL want to see your kid’s or u guys the dog gets put in a room until your done visiting and they pay the medical bill
Its their home & their dog … respect their decision … let them know that your son is afraid of their dog … So you will allow them to visit their grandkids at your house … without their DOG!!!
If this isn’t the first sign of aggression? Then your moms very inconciderite! No way my kids near her richer mutt!
She’s selfish! You know this!
This time was a whisper,next time should there be one could be far worse,protect your child!
I would stop going over there until they got stuff to lock the dog up if they don’t want I would not go over there at all
