We have a shih tzu/bichon freeze cross. It's Stan's pet and I can't enjoy it cos if he's holding it and I go near - it feels threatened I am going to take it away.

It actually will bit me or anyone else that will appear to take it away from Stan.

It really spoils having this doggy very much as I am kind to it but it's a one person dog. How can you stop this? Barb

Barb, it sounds like you have a big dog problem with your little dog.

I might suggest a website, that might give you some ideas on where to start.

Cesar Millan, has a television show called The Dog Whisper, where he helps pet owners with there problem dogs. I have seen him deal with this very thing you are talking about. I see he has a website and a page you can go to for Cesar's Tips

Hope your dog problem can be remedied soon.

Thanks Crater - I'll look up the doggie whisperer site cos
this spoils terribly my relationship with Stan's doggie. Even when grandkids go to pat her - she snarls.

Makes me cringe.

Look out for us - we're about to spend 3 months up your way in 3 weeks time. We're very brave as we're hiring a motor home for 5 weeks so if you see anyone on the wrong side of the road just say there goes those crazy 'Down Unders' - Barb

Your welcome Barb.

Sounds like you have quite a trip planned.

My wife works at an animal hospital and deals with behavior problems all the time, I'll try to get her to reply to this in a couple of days. She might have an idea or two.

Barb,

Have you prayed about this yet? God can help you, you need only ask. Thru Christ all things are possible.

As a lot of water has gone under the bridge since Barb's last post, I wonder how things are going now?
