Becoming Agressive

[YorkiesRule]

YorkieMum - I hate to show my ignorance here but what is PM? I would like to see you list but I'm not sure what you mean by this. Thanks to everyone for the input. I too am addicted to the Dog Whisperer. I will not, and have not, used negative training on Lexi. Every living thing on this earth deserves respect, kindness and mostly love. My little girl is just crying out for help. She went to the groomers yesterday and they had to muzzle her to cut her nails. She was OK without the muzzle for all the other spa treatments but they also put a red sticker in her file that reads " I'm a little nipper " I'm so sad and I have to help her. I'm getting a clicker first thing Saturday morning. I'm reading the articles now and I'll let you know how we/I do. Thanks again.

I Pm you again as I know you know what that is.
Well I would get your self a new groomer!!!
My girl has been harder to handle as she was hurt but her groomer worked slow and at my girl's pace. We will fix this.
If a dog is not comfortable with it groomer, move.
Nails can be clickered. Get out the treat get the nail clippers and use the clippers as the clicker. No where near her paws at first and then closer and closer. I can now do my girls nails it slow but I can do it.
Also Tellington Touch on the paws is good too.
I just have to say I am impressed... I to felt sad for my girl and her fears and well anyone that stops to see a differnt way and knows that something has to change before the dog breaks is well .
Go slow add love and stir. You can help this wee one feel safe.

I'm sorry to sound stupid, but would someone be able to tell me what are some of the signs of aggression because I feel that Giovanni may becoming aggressive by the way he's been acting lately.

Wow, I don't know how I missed this thread. Gucci barks when people comes to the door and she is also an "escapee' when the door is open. I love the dog whisperer, but I havent being able to do what he does. What I do is tell her "No" and I pick her up until she calms down. She is barking less but I know we could do so much better.

OK, Another GREAT THREAD!!!

My Roxy does the same thing. She barks her head off - NERVES...
She paces in circle when she is nervious...
And she starts to bit and bark and bit and bark, etc....

I think between Roxy's nerviousness and TJ's guarding agression, my best bet would be to do some research in this 'clicker' training I keep reading about!

I read somewhere that tiny dogs know they are tiny which makes sense of why they react the way they do .
