I remember an episode of "It's Me or the Dog" that had a little chi that was just like that. They couldn't take it for walks because it went nuts and tried to bite everyone, bit company that came into the house, etc. I can't remember enough to describe the techniques she used to "fix" the dog, but they were fairly simple and made sense (like most of the training tips on the show), but it did seem to take a lot of patience and persistence. It paid off because in the end the dog did eventually get a LOT calmer and they were able to trust it around strangers again. Maybe you could try to look up that episode and/or work with a local dog trainer for your little guy. |
