AboutKristen Cabe Expertise I can answer training questions, both basic and advanced, and am familiar with almost all of the methods and tools used. I am not closed-minded and do not think that one method and one tool is the best/only way to train. I answer questions with consideration to both the owner`s and the dog`s needs and abilities. I am also very knowledgeable about canine nutrition.
IF YOU HAVE A HOUSETRAINING QUESTION, PLEASE go to my web page on housetraining, located at http://housetraining.angelfire.com. If you try the suggestions there, and are still having problems, let me know.
Experience I have been training for more than five years. I am currently involved in the sport of Schutzhund, and also plan to pursue AKC obedience and tracking titles.
I adopted a female poodle 10-pound eight-year-old from a friend who had her since puppyhood. She is generally a sweet dog and knows many tricks.
However, on some occasions she snarls and bites, but no pressure on the bite, just puts her teeth on. Also, when out of doors, on leash, she wimpers and snarls at larger dogs. She really goes after them and must be restrained.
Any ideas on how to cure her of this behavior?
best,

Answer Dave, I cannot answer your question based on the information you have given me, and without actually seeing her behavior in person. I would suggest that you contact a local trainer that can work with you and your dog and determine exactly what is triggering her behavior, and then figure out a way to correct it.
