fear biting
My sister's family adopted what seemed to be a very gentle dog, but in
the last three months her behavior has been changing drastically. She acted like "Cujo" around one of their family friends. She bit one man on a campout, and just a few days ago... Lucy bit the babysitter's daughter. Action needs to happen right away, or they will have to put Lucy to sleep. Can anyone point me to set information that might help? -- Lisa Stapp ICQ-27424429 Yahoo -WorthyWoman AIM-lthrncnfssns My Blog is at http://www.livejournal.com/~worthywoman/ Are you craving a different type of pet? http://tinyurl.com/2ubdv +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A wonderful cat is up for adoption.

The very best information you will get will not be on the internet. Find a good (check references) behaviorist/trainer that will come and assess the dog and the situation. I wouldn't recommend your sister wait on it either. Donna |

Can anyone point me to set information that might help? What does the vet say? Look first for a physical cause for a behavior like that. The dog could be in pain and responding when she had reason to believe these people were going to touch her in a way that would hurt her more. --Lia |
