Hercules is normally sweet too. When we are out in public, he never has these behaviors (knock on wood) and everyone tells me how sweet and cute he is. He only does this upon other people entering and leaving our house. If I don't pick him up, he nips at their pants too. Obviously I don't want it to escalate. However, once the person is in the house and he has sniffed them, he is good. My kids have had friends over and Hercules has sat in their laps. As for the puppies you are considering, if you buy one, make sure you really teach "sit" and "stay." That's what I'm going to be working on here. |
