I understand. You see that in her mind, she is protecting you, and the longer she is with you the more attached she is becoming to you and therefore more protective. She has become the lead boss here and she is showing her "worth". She has to learn that YOU are the main boss and do not need her protection thanks a bunch. You are protecting her by training her that it is not permissable to bite anyone. Your hubby has to back off, even for a 20 minute "time out"... (dogs do not forget, especially little terriers). Repetition and consistancy is the answer here. You are being harsh when she 'loses it' to protect her. In the meantime, keep her on a leash when company is in the house. |
