So I'm new to this site, and I've been trying so hard to get answers as to why my dog snaps at strangers, when they come into my house. He never used to do it but now that he is a bit older (10 months) he nips at people who he doesn't know he is fine for a minute (licking there face, wagging his tail) he shows no sign of fear, but then out of no where he just snaps not really insanly not like biting over and over again but just nips at strangers. To people he has met before more than once... he has never done this to them. I have a border collie blue heeler mix, I read somewhere that they are fear biters, so maybe he just bites people he doesn't know, but that is besides the point is there anything i can do or does anybody know anything about this sort of breed??? I got him from my aunts farm.. he was a shy puppy I won't deny that and when strange people would try to pet him he woud dip down or just avoid them...i socialized him at a young age (3 months) going to dog parks..well he gets along very well with other dogs its just people I am worried about. His name is morgan, and is a very happy friendly dog..i'm just worried he might bite the wrong person and I will have to put him down
If a friend goes to give me a hug he jumps up and barks at the person hopefully he's not to over protective but anyways if someone could please help me answer this question I would really appreciate it!
Thanks so much.
