Hello,
Vino bites everyone but me, but only very randomly. One minute she'll be sitting quite happily beside my husband, my daughter, my dad... then all of a sudden CHOMP! and for no reason! But she never, ever bites me.
I get that I'm her favorite and she doesn't have to love everyone but I can't have her biting people, especially my daughter. But because its so random and unprovoked its really difficult to discourage. And she can be so sweet to them other times (see my post about Vino playing nurse to my daughter)
I've tried to socialize her, have others be the only ones to give her her favorite treats, give her lots of praise when being handled by others, putting her in her cage for time outs when she bites, nothing seems to work for long.
Any suggestions would be totally welcome
