My husband found this site in the first place because Barney was so savage from time to time. The advice at the time was that he had been separated from his mother too early to learn how to behave like a nice boy and to hold his head down. I tried that and he nearly screwed his own head off his neck! Then I tried cutting out his red meat and that helped a lot but now, he is starting up again. Today just before I left for work, he scratched me badly down the chin, bit me on the thumb and bit and scratched me on the leg. I really did go to work dripping blood.
I really need some advice on this because even though I love him dearly, I am starting to become afraid of him. He attacks me about 4am each day but I wear gloves and long thick socks to bed to protect myself and when it happens, I get up and put him in the carport. It happens mostly to me, rarely to my husband.
My husband was Barney's first contact with us. Does that have something to do with it? Really, I'm getting a bit fed up with it all. Any advice please.
