I am owned by an alpha male pekingese i rescued when he was 9 and he is turning 11 in july. prior to my owning him he was taken from a puppy mill and placed in a kill shelter. I got him and have dealt with him since. He has issues with anyone touching his feet or his underside. I am sure you can imagine how he is when grooming time comes around. I can get him to sit on command but no one else can. the vet says there is nothing physically wrong that would cause him to be so mean. he will whip around and snap at you if you touch his no no spots. i don't jerk my hand back when he does this but i have a 4month old daughter and i worry about when she gets bigger what he will do. right now he lays with her and she can pull on him and he is fine. ( i never leave them alone together ever!) i would like to be able to groom him and not worry about him being a butt. any advice is great. i can not afford right now to take him to a professional trainer so i am coming here asking for advice on how i can solve the issue myself.
Thanks a million,
Beverly
