It might help clarify things with Biddy if your boyfriend puts her in a submissive position on a regular basis. Once a day or so while I'm petting her I flip Maddie over on her back in my arms and rub her belly. It just helps show her who's boss. Obviously he'll need to do that when she's not growling at him

I work in Cambridge (I'm there right now as a matter of fact!).

I've read that (putting her in the submissive position) works, but we've never actually tried it. We definitly should - she is 1/2 Jack Russell so you can imagine her personality! we've such pushovers - we need to learn to be a little tougher with her. 99% of the time her behavior is fantastic, but when she is bad she is very very bad!
