I gave my Black Mouth Cur a shoulder bone that had been smoking for 12hrs. He was around 2 years old at the time.

Dude came unglued when I came into his space, in all honesty he scared the shite out of me but of course it was game on. I had no other option than to beat his arse and take the bone. Up to that point he was a super freaking cool dog.

I've had Pit's (game dogs) my entire life and never experienced this with them.

After said throwdown with the Cur... next morning I gave him back the shoulder bone. He did not receive the earlier memo and came unglued again. Rinse/repeat with beating his arse (respectfully) taking the bone again.

Never experienced this with other dogs I've owned that would actually eat this guy lol. I was pissed/disappointed. My brother gave me this pup when his eyes were closed. Kill or not to kill was the question.

I figured the best thing to do was to leave his arse outside for a few days. Three to be exact & didn't give him any food. He was cool as ever like nothing happened, me not so much.

On day four I came out with his food bowl but I stayed in front of it feeding him by hand on piece at a time. Did this for three or so days.

Not a single issue since he is 11 years old now and a fine dog. I chalk it up to being a teenager and testing the old man.

TLDR: Starve the dog for a couple days feed him by hand for a few days... you should be good.

Black Mouth Cur

As I said before, these dogs can be mean. One of ours hated cars. She would all but attack cars that pulled into the driveway. Damaged tires on two different vehicles. However, once someone got out of the car she was fine. She ended up getting hit by cars on the road three different times. Broke her pelvis one time, several ribs the second time, and got severe nerve damage in her shoulder on another. She learned to throw her foot forward to run. It never stopped her.

One time a kid threw rocks at her and she always remembered him when he rode by on his bike. She would take the shoe off his foot and try to keep as a trophy. Never bit him or anyone else. His parents would call to come get the shoe. He is a client now and we talk about that often. She never forgave him. That was the 80s and we would have had to put the dog down now.

Very protective dogs though. My parents would make me take them with me if I went into the woods as a kid. They knew that dog would die trying to protect her people.
