I had a dachshund come by today for a nail trim. When she got here, she decided she wanted a bath and nails. No prob, I took the dog back and put him in a midlevel cage.
When I opened the cage door to get the little dog out, he lunged and bounced off my face, and tried to bite my hands. I got him shoved back in the cage. I saw the look of complete shock on the other groomers face and that is when I realized he didnt bounce off my face; he bit my nose; three holes. Ouch.
I called the owner to come get him.
"He is not a biter", she stated, when she picked him up.
"he is biter; he broke the skin and deliberately lunged to bite. You are on notice that he most definitely is a biter."
She apologized for the bite, rather halfheartedly, scolding him gently as she left, You're a bad dog, aren't you?
I wanted to stomp him thru the floor, but didn't. Or Perhaps, her.
did suggest she hire a good trainer before someone else got hurt.
