Police prosecutor Sergeant Rebecca Skivington said Trindall's criminal record "goes against him".
She said he had "serious and quite violent matters" on his record, and if found guilty of the charges before the court he could be facing a term of imprisonment.
Ms Munro said Trindall needed to be at liberty to "reintegrate into the community", secure employment, and attend medical appointments.
She said the 30-year-old was also concerned about potential "reprisal attacks" on his dog which is at the home of where the alleged assault took place.
"He is concerned for the welfare of that dog," Ms Munro said.
Magistrate Julie Soars said due to the "build up" of matters she would be refusing the 30-year-old bail.
She said she would be ordering a welfare check on Trindall's dog to remove the animal from the home.
"I am concerned about his dog as well," she said.
From the dock, Trindall raised concerns about who would look after his pet while he was ordered to stay behind bars.
"Where are they going to put the dog?" he asked during the court proceedings.
Trindall will stay behind bars until he returns to court in December.
