I'm not sure if this foster B...basset I've taken on is really ready to be placed with just an experienced owner and shouldn't still be with a trainer or someone experienced in rescuing & retraining.
He's just nipped someone for the second time in ten days. Followed it by trying to defend me from that person by attempting to attack his shoes.
Then after our bedtime walk he had not just one but two goes at the mini poodle I'm also fostering. The first was just growling and I yanked his lead/collar up tight and controlled him but I didn't want to reach for the poodle who wasn't moving out of range. When I eased up on the lead B..basset grabbed the poodle around the neck. I yanked B...basset right off his front feet with the lead and he let go of the poodle who seems unhurt.
Opinions, ideas please.
