nipping

Kimo has a nipping problem (not to mention a biting problem).

When people pet him, he growls or nips at them. It's the prelude to a bite.

Solutions? Try to get him used to people petting him by having him relate a hand going toward him as a good thing. This is done by touching them as they're being treated (touch training).

Victoria shows this in Tiny Tyrant and Eight Is Enough.

Cesar showed this in the episodes in the boutique? (it was a salon: Hardy Attacked With Love) and where the grandkids couldn't come over (Lorelei). Both currently available for viewing on the internet.
