Leash aggression, mayhap?


I dunno and neither does tiny, which is the point, I think.
Right now the dog seems to be loose when it bites, so that's
obviously not leash aggression. However, depending on
what's going on, leashing it may make the problem worse or
it may not. There's no way of knowing based on a sketchy
description and without seeing the dog, and without more
expertise than I have or than tiny sure as hell has. This
is one of those cases where you say "Gosh, I don't know, but
I think that the *experts* you should consult include a vet
and a behaviorist/trainer."
