Lhasa Apso Forum:
confused owner

Dear Breeders,

I own a lhasa Apso, and jsut recentley has actually gone crazy on us , we dont know what is wrong with her. My child had surgery and she started to bite people after that. The only thing i could think of (why my dog is biting) is that my daughter used to do everything with my dog and now she cant do anything with her. So what do you think about this? I dont know what to do and i am afraid she may bite my daughter she already bit me. please help

Im not necessarily an expert on these things, but Ive noticed that my Lhasa seems extremely sensitive to changes in routine and is also very jealous and possessive of "his" people. When my schedule changes and he suddenly has less time with me, or if Im gone all day one day, hell be a bit angry with me. He used to bite in those times.

It seems to me that what worked best was a little extra reassurance and attention as much as I was capable. Even if I was just passing through a room Id give him a pat and a word or two if I didnt have time for more. It seemed to help.
