    Having some Helix issues, he bit me last night.. After lunging at me. I have the behavioral therapist coming tomorrow am and the vet coming Thursday PM. This is the 2nd bite, the first one was on my foot when I tied to push him away from another dogs food. Last night was nothing like that.n I do not want to be afraid of my dog, so please keep good thoughts that we can figure this out and with training and vet guidance, we can work through this.

    A good trainer should be able to correct this behavior. We're both issues started by food? Seems like a common trigger.

    HI Tab, the first was food, which we have been working on, the 2nd was a piece of my clothing he took, and when I went to pick it up and put it in the hamper he lunged. The are all guarding type issues, which leads us to believe he had to fight for toys, food, and basic items of security somewhere before I got him. He is doing much better on toys, and will bring them to me, and let me take them from him. Food is still tough, so I feed him in his kennel, so I can shut the door if he gets aggressive. I got him a puzzle bowl to try and slow down his eating.. but that just frustrates him.

    Oh no CeCe! Did he break your skin? Poor little guy...I'm glad you are working with a therapist.
