[Lil Sis]

I will say I understand totally how you feel. I can share my story and it may help... I don't know

I have an 8 year old Lhasa ... Sammy. We got him as an 8 week puppy from a co worker who's female had him. He is akc and is a very well breed example of a Lhasa.

We he was about 5 or 6 months old I became very afraid of him. He became very aggressive and it was difficult. He had an injury and I had to put medicine on him and I had to throw a towel over his head to do so. The groomer put him to sleep to groom him... it was bad. He bit the groomer.

He bit me and my dh flipped out and tossed him into another room. It was like he was a growling snarling demon. I was afraid and I did not know what to do with him.

That day I thought that I had enough and became very firm back to him. I looked him in the eye.. and held his head while he snarled etc and we had words. After that he was fine with me. He is still toy aggressive and bone aggressive, we now have two other dogs.. he is fine with them as long as I don't leave out a bone or one of "his" toys. The other male and Sammy sometimes get into snarling matches... I just separate them. If he starts to act aggressive I just say "stop" and he does. He does not like my dh too much and will growl at him but otherwise its fine. He did nip a friends toe one time but I think he thought she was going to step on him.

He loves me... he has to be touching me at all times. I wish he was easier but I have found a truce I guess.
