Biden has sent a XNUMX-year-old German shepherd named Commander to an undisclosed location while the White House considers "next steps."

What else is known about the bite incidents at the White House?

The Secret Service said Commander had bitten 11 of its agents. According to CNN, the number of government employees bitten by dogs is even higher.

“The President and First Lady care deeply about the safety of those who work in the White House and those who protect them every day,” said Elizabeth Alexander, communications director for Biden's wife, Jill.

“They continue to appreciate the patience and support of the US Secret Service and all stakeholders as they continue to work to resolve the issue,” she said.

“The commander is not currently on the White House campus while next steps are being assessed,” Elizabeth Alexander said, without providing further details.

The announcement came hours after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about allegations that Commander recently bit a White House staffer.

In response, the First Lady's press service stated that the chief groundskeeper of the White House grounds was playing with a dog at the time. The animal excitedly imitated a bite, which the tourist photographed, but the skin was not damaged.

The dog was last seen at the White House on September 30.

This is the second Biden pet to be removed from the White House because of his behavior. Major, a German shepherd, was sent to live with family friends in northeastern Delaware.

The Bidens previously cited the “stressful” environment in the White House as the cause of dog bite incidents.

The dog needs help

Renowned dog trainer Tom Davis believes a lack of "leadership, boundaries and structure" led to President Biden's pet Commander turning to biting, writes Fox News.

Davis, who hosts one of the nation's top dog training podcasts called No Bad Dogs and specializes in improving the behavior of the most aggressive dogs, criticized the White House's handling of the president's purebred German shepherd.

The trainer stated that intervention was necessary to save the animal.

He is ready to come to the White House at the first opportunity to assist the Commander.

The trainer, who works with aggressive and antisocial dogs at his center in upstate New York, began by assessing what led to Commander's bad behavior.

In his opinion, referring to his experience working with dogs, he is convinced that the Commander was “placed in unfair conditions.”

“When Governor Andrew Cuomo was in office, I worked a lot at the mansion in Albany and I know what it’s like to be in that environment where there’s a lot going on, a lot of people, a lot of hustle and bustle, a lot of things to do,” Davis said.

“And if the dog does not have a leader in this environment, then this can very quickly develop into protection or fear, for example at home,” he explained.

Ten of the 11 bite incidents occurred in just four months. As a result of one of them, a US Secret Service employee was hospitalized.

Describing the breed's temperament, Davis said: “German Shepherds are very loyal dogs, very smart and intelligent. This is not the type that can just be left to the mercy of fate.”

“I don’t know what the laws are in Washington, but I used to work as an animal control officer and I know that in New York, if a dog bites someone and they need medical attention, the animal is quarantined. "It has to be documented and there is usually a court hearing to determine whether the dog is dangerous and whether the behavior will be repeated," he said.

He said the failure to investigate and make efforts to change the dog's behavior was "really irresponsible."

“Someone needs to analyze the dog’s behavior and understand what’s going on,” the trainer concluded.

Asked if he would personally help Biden with Commander, Davis replied: “I would go tonight and be there right now. Because, like I said, this dog needs help."

Finally, the trainer said, “I wouldn’t want this dog to be euthanized. Therefore, I would offer my services absolutely free of charge.”
