We have a 6 year old English Black Lab. She's a fantastic dog, warm
and friendly around people and other dogs she knows. However, in the
last 6 months or so, she's all of a sudden started biting! It's
happened 4 times to people we've had over. The people were basically
strangers to her. And each time she was fine with them, until they
turned their back on her, then she nips them in the back of the leg.
Yesterday we had friends over. She greeted them, they pet her, they
watched TV with us for a while. She was fine. She laid down, wasn't
agitated, just slept. All of a sudden, one of them gets up and walks
away and she got up and bit the back of his leg. How do I stop this
behavior? I want to train her, but if it's a good friend we know, she
doesn't do this. And I can't as someone she doesn't know to "come on
over and help us teach our dog how not to bite you"! We're mortified
that our sweet little lab might bite the wrong person. Any thoughts
are greatly appreciated...

Anything short of "hire a trainer" in this ng will get you stoned, fyi
tiny dancer.

Slap the living **** out of that dog next time he even attempts to
bite, at the least. It needs to know there are real consequences for
breaking that rule.

If your child punched a guest, you'd give he/she a spanking right?
Same goes for Fido.

Of course, most in this group wouldn't spank. They'd probably hire
child psychologist, buy 2 cases of ritalin, and clean up a nice corner
for extended time-outs for the next 6 months.

Hoping like hell you don't have any animals or children and/or you say these
things just to see the reaction because you have no life.
