| Possible New Foster with a Past of Biting I might be fostering a female bichon/yorkie mix who has had a past of biting. She has bitten several people who have come into her home, but not her immediate family. I am trying to research training methods for working with dogs who bite. Anyone have any advice?

| That is a big training dilemma. I don't have any advice for you, but I wanted to wish you luck. Is biting guests the reason she had to leave her original family? A change in environment and routine might be the first step in improvement.

| Tamar Geller has a very positive approach to handling dogs. You might want to read some of her books. The Loved Dog - Meet Tamar
