Every time the door bell rings and I'm standing up, the dog jumps up and bites me on the butt--nowhere else--ALWAYS the toosh. There are 3 other people living here and he only bites me.

If he's not in the same room when the bell rings...he'll come running and bite me. He's drawn blood twice. I think some of this is my fault because I need to get to the door and see who is here instead of stopping to correct him. I have many times paused when he's come running and turned to him and stared him down...he wont bite me unless I turn my back to him to get the door.

Im not exactly sure how to correct it or even why he might be doing it. Has anyone ever gone through this that might give me some clues.
