Let me give you an idea of who is involved and what's going on. We have three dogs, one is mine (pepper) he is a sweet Chihuahua pit and lab mix. He's super social and protective, loves other dogs and doesn't understand when people or other dogs don't like him. Then there is Odin, he is 9 has anger issues, his owner never gives him enough love and attention, he is anti social, shows his teeth and growls at little kids, is playful once in a blue moon but it's only so he can get something out of you. He will straight up only play nice so he can use you. Nothing about this dog is sincere, he does not care about anyone dog or human as long as he can get something out of you that is the only time he will love on you. Then there is appolo, he is really old has bone problems, sleeps alot and loves to cuddle with my dog, he generally has a grandpa personality. He is Doberman Pinscher, very sweet and loving.
Odin is the problem here.
He has attacked my dog pepper over four times now simply because he was happy or wanted to play. Odin hates seeing my dog happy, Odin has also left deep wounds in peppers face. I have whooped Odin's butt and even given him mood suppressants that are ok for dogs.
He is still angry, growls at me, he is scared of me now and won't go outside when I let the dogs out. I don't feel bad because I know any chance he gets to play "poor me" is all a mask so people who shower him with love.
You know that one girl we all knew in middle school or hgh school that was super friendly and loving towards everyone only so she could get something out of someone, even use them or talk behind their back, this dog is the spitting image of her.
I won't pet him, reward him or do anything that let's him know he is in favor. I am about to have a child and worry about my child's safety, I even have a gate at my bedroom door just to keep Odin out and away from my dog.
The only time Odin socializes with appolo is so he can hump him. I feel so bad for appolo and do as much as I can to protect him from Odin because Odin will hump him when he is stuck or scared to move (he has brittle legs and has a hard time standing) this is the only time Odin cares to interact with appolo which makes me sad.
I scare him away so appolo can keep trying to keep his balance.
I love animals and this one just rubs me the wrong way, I can not stand him he is so conniving it makes me sick to my stomach.
How does one fix this or should I just rehome him?
