Reply to comment by Kallyanna in I love my dog. I really do. But if he stands up and stares at me one more time I'll send him to the shelter. by Writer_On_a_Perch

When dogs get the taste of blood, they change..they’re never the same and can’t be trusted…I’ve seen the sweetest most placid dogs turn into blood hungry beasts that never come back

Guess you never fed your dog a raw diet

When they kill, already prepared meat is different, when they take a life or they taste the fresh warm blood, that is the catalyst for change

I beg to differ. Some dogs have extremely high prey drives, regardless if they kill anything or not. This behavior is not blood lust.. it’s ingrained behavior. The aggressive behaviors passed down from their wolf ancestors and their breeding is in no way impacted by tasting blood. The blood your dog tastes will not cause it to attack again. There is no scientific backing to this claim. The contributing factor is the temperament of the dog. If the dog attacks it’s more likely to attack again due to improper socialization skills not a blood thirst
