[QUOTE=Erin;2295033]I know some dogs are just mean and aggressive, but for the most part dogs bite if they are scared and pushed too far or if they are in pain. Also, there is a difference between a snap and a bite. Neither are good but a dog doesn't "miss" A snap is a warning, they don't intent to bite you. You need to figure out *why* they are warning you and you have to make then trust you.

Pooh is no longer a biter. Once I figured out her problem and gave her plenty of love she is one of the sweetest dogs you could find. When we got her she came with nose spray, I am retired from a Pharmacy, I took one look at the nose spray and tossed in the trash I figured if she had allergies I would give her benadryl. I have had her 3 years with no problems.
