I had a foster who was a biter...I did the nothing is free program with him and also put him on Prozac to help calm him and it helped being able to work with him. ...... He is no longer on the Prozac and has been adopted and is doing well.?..but still his new owner does not put him in certain circumstances. It did take a year with him, but it was well worth it. He also never bit my vet, groomer, or daycare person.
I took him to a behaviorist...he did go after her. Her place was set up like a living room and she had us sit in there awhile till he was comfortable and she entered like you would a house and he showed his true colors. So she was able to see them....
My foster was only 4.5 lbs ...but he did break skin and cause damage in my opinion. He also never went after me...but anyone else was fair game.
I would contact both your vet and a behaviorist /trainer who deals with dogs who bite. I would make sure there is nothing medically going also.
