well, in the mobile. I have done plenty of biters over the years, but I've been lucky, have not had one dog that was a biter yet in the mobile, until last night. LOL
I wrote about this in another thread about whether or not I should automatically book the biters for myself. Well, Paco is a 10 year old Chihuahua owned by an 80 year old woman. She cannot leash him, put a collar on him, or kennel him without getting bitten. When I got there she handed me heavy gloves, a muzzle, and two beach towels and had him between two gates in the hallway. I went in to see Killer, I mean Paco, to face this terrifying 3 pound dog that had his mom in a tizzy! So I scoop him up, boy was he surprised! Didn't try to bite me though. Then we get to the van and I start with the nails. Then I see his true colors. This boy has been allowed to rule the roost and things his poo has no scent! he starts the growling, then the "viscious attack" biting. As he's trying to get me I can see he only has 4 teeth and they are barely anything more than nubs! I started laughing at this poor old man. he thinks he's SO tough. I just wrapped him in the towel and pulled out a paw at a time to do his nails. Washed him up with the recirc, another towel wrap, he HATED his face toweled LOL and actually "bit me" through the towel once, of course it was all gums! I had him done in about 20 minutes. Even cleaned his ears! Another thing he was not so fond of. But when I brought him back in and put him down, he tried to cuddle up next to my leg.
So, if I have to groom a biter, I can only hope they are like Paco. 3 pounds and toothless!
