he bit the vet last month when she was clipping his nails. he hates when other people other than myself or my husband have control. i think at this point, puppy classes are our last hope. $300 later... |
Thats a classic Terrier right there
Our JRT was the same way, she is now on prescription Qualmicalm because her anxiety was so horrible. If shes picking up bad habits from other dogs the best thing to do is separate her from the pack when she acts up. For Chloe, my moms dog pees everywhere and Chloe was picking up on it. When she did it, she went in the crate. I put her in the same room as everyone and she cried because she was left out. Dogs hate that feeling!!! Pretty soon she picked up on it. Nipping the vet and other people is a little harder. Try a gentle leader maybe. Put it on her snout she can still open her mouth and what not but its much different.
