we've had our 2 year old dog a couple of months now and he is quite wary of lots of things , bigger dogs , people coming into the house etc , so we have been to see a very good trainer and will be going again in a couple of weeks .
One other issue we have is that he will suddenly get very over excited and start running around in circles , barking madly and nipping / biting at clothing . When he is like this he won't listen to any commands at all . Sometimes the triggers are , when hes got wet , after a walk , long grass , or when visitors attempt to play with him (bit embarassing)
I wonder if its because hes stressed as he is a bit nervous and only been in his new home a short time ?
I am going to ask the trainer about it when we go but in the mean time what should i be doing ? I'm a bit worried that he might actually end up biting skin rather than the clothing !
