Hi,
I am helping a friend with a very problematic dog, and I would like to get some tips and points as this case is not simple and I would like to try as many ways as possible to solve it.
This is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, and he has some issues-
He is aggressive towards people, growls and bites (not a biting to kill, but still a strong bite). He is possessive of random things, as well as my friends bed. As her husband wants to go to the bed he growls. He also being aggressive if his two owners are hugging or kissing. He would get out of control if someone rings the bell, and often bite. He is also refusing to go in the crate.
I was trying to give him a treat today and he nipped my hand.
He was in obedience training that didn't help.
I am going to try various technics to deal with him, and I would love you to add up some tips and links here. I would also think it's impotent to address his genetics by giving him something to "kill". Any advice on how to do that?
