After you rule out Fiona being in pain, I think you need to takes steps to become the pack leader, and let her know you are the boss, this isn't EVER done aggressively, and if done improperly can cause more aggression on the dogs part. By the way, do you use the same towel for both dogs, Fiona may not like that!  |
She does not show teeth often, and trust me I know what needs to be done! With me being a vet tech for 7 yrs, I have tried anything, when she was little, she was handful, and I worked with her, I can now trim her nails with her being quiet, however, I have had to lean on her or put her up on the table to do so!
I used the same towel, maybe that was the problem! I think having Honey around she is upset, since I've only had one dog since we got her! ha ha!
