My 8 year old dog just bit someone on our walk. She has a long history of “happy” biting. When we play, or go on walks, or jump around, she bites. She has lightly bitten me hundreds of times. She has broken skin on a few people a handful of times. Usually it’s people visiting our home. Today it was a man standing on the grass and she lunged off the sidewalk to bite a man standing completely still facing away from her. I just can’t keep trying to catch her triggers. Sometimes it’s just not predictable. She’s been my baby and despite everything, my favorite dog I’ve ever had.. but I think it’s time to make the appt and I’m terrified.
