what have they done to her!?!

we have been awa on holiday last week and just come back today. Nikita was being looked after by a friend who we have known for years and has a dog herself. when we got back i was soooo happy to see her i tried to hug her and she bit me hard! she has become very aggressive since shes been away. only thing i can think of is they have let her nip when ive always said no. she got on great with their jack russel apparently which is a good thing as we are dog sitting her in a few months. my friend also has 3 kids, 9, 10 and 11 so she might have been mauled. nikita has actually drew blood on my finger but dunno if shes playing. so its back to square one for nip training. im not impressed

She might just feel a bit rejected.She probably missed you.

Oh dear. I'm guessing that your rules aren't the same as their rules and she was allowed to get away with certain things there and is just trying it on. I'm sure with a bit of patience and consistency she'l be back to normal in no time. Good luck

i told them to say no when she nipped. she runs up to me bites hard then runs. could possibly be from playing with their dog as my friend said thats what she did to her. she lets me pick her up now to stroke and cuddle with no aggression its just the hard playing x

amazing how quick they can forget or remember things isn't it. Just shows you really have to be on to them all the time.. glad she is abit better today...

oh no we are leaving billy for 3 weeks in aug with a dog minder, we are taking him once a week gradually working to to a full day before we go. i will just have to make sure that he keeps doing what we do

hopefully it won't take long for Nikita to get back to normal

I'm sure your Billy will be fine

thanks

Some people don't like to 'correct' other people's dogs, so maybe it isn't entirely their fault.

Back to basics, I'm afraid.

Its a worry when you go on holiday and have to leave them I spend most of the time worrying about the pets then enjoying the rest
