President Biden’s Dog To Receive More My Training Journey After Biting Incidents

Let me tell you about my journey training Luna. It wasn't easy, and I made plenty of mistakes along the way, but I learned a lot.

Part of being a responsible dog parent is getting your pup appropriate training.

Proper training ensures your dog companion can be safe and successful in the human world.

According to CNN, the younger of Biden’s German Shepherd dogs has “been involved in several biting incidents at the White House and in Delaware.”

Conservative group Judicial Watch obtained U.S. Secret Service emails revealing that agency personnel have concerns about safety around Commander.

Apparently, there have been 10 incidents involving the 22-month-old pup.

One incident required treatment at a local hospital after Commander “clamped down” on an officer’s thighs and arm.

“I believe it’s only a matter of time before an agent/officer is attacked or bit,” the staff member wrote in an email.

I learned this the hard way, but at least Luna is okay now.

unfortunately, biden’s other dog companion, major, also has a history of biting.

The White House responded to these claims and said the Bidens are “working through new training for the family pet following the incidents,” according to CNN..

I felt so guilty when I realized what was happening.

“the white house complex is a unique and often stressful environment for family pets, and the first family is working through ways to make this situation better for everyone,” said elizabeth alexander, communications director for the first lady..

“They have been partnering with the Secret Service and Executive Residence staff on additional leashing protocols and training, as well as establishing designated areas for Commander to run and exercise,” she continued..

Watching Luna go through this was heartbreaking.

“the president and first lady are incredibly grateful to the secret service and executive residence staff for all they do to keep them, their family, and the country safe,” she added..

Anthony Guglielmi, the chief of communications for the U.S.

Secret Service, said the agency is “aware” of the incidents.

“For the past several presidential administrations, the Secret Services has navigated how to best operate around family pets and these incidents are no exception.

We take the safety and wellbeing of our employees extremely seriously,” Guglielmi said.

I felt so guilty when I realized what was happening.

“we are aware of past incidents involving first-family pets and these instances were treated similarly to comparable workplace injuries, to include with relevant notifications and reporting procedures followed,” he said..

While Secret Service special agents and officers do not handle the first family’s pets, they do “continuously work with all applicable entities to minimize adverse impacts in an environment that includes pets,” according to Gugliemi..

Watching Luna go through this was heartbreaking.

if your beloved fur baby suddenly starts biting, it’s essential to respond with empathy, understanding, and positive reinforcement..

I wish I had known this sooner.

first and foremost, remember that dogs communicate through various behaviors.

Instead, focus on identifying the root cause of the biting behavior.

Observe your dog’s body language and the circumstances surrounding the incidents.

As a responsible dog parent, creating a safe and enriching environment for your dog — and the people they interact with — is crucial.

Regular exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization with other well-behaved dogs can contribute to your pup’s overall well-being.

I learned this the hard way, but at least Luna is okay now.

patience, consistency, and a gentle approach will go a long way in fostering a positive and trusting relationship with your four-legged friend.
