Question:

: My 6 y.o. neutered JRT has become extremely aggressive toward me. With no provacation he starts growling, baring his teeth and has even bitten me. This has just started in the past few months and he only does it to me. What is going on and what can I do about it?

Hi Martha,
We can't deal with bitting aggression on this board because we can't see what is actually going on. You will need to find a behaviorist in your area and work with him/her on this problem. First of all if this just started then you need to have your dog check by your Vet to make sure there is NOTHING medically going on. Aggression doesn't just start like this and there may be a medical cause for the problem.
Ask your Vet for trainers or Behaviorist in your area.
