really peeved at Fred tonight

So at sheep-herding this morning, the trainer was holding Fred by her collar while I went out in the field to the sheep. I didn't see it happen but Fred was struggling and lunging to get to me/ or the sheep and then turn and BIT her hard enough to puncture right between her thumb and first finger. :oops: 8O
I offered to pay for stitches or whatever care she will need. but I was so mad/ embarrassed by her behavior. I didn't know what to say!
Then this evening my Dad says a few weeks ago when he was watching her, he tried to pull her away from the bed where she was barking at their cat and she turned and got snarly with him. Why didn't he tell me this???

She is not this way with me, but there were some food bowl issues back when she was a few months old and I nipped it quick and have not had issues since personally, but what do I do to stop this with others?
So pissed right now. :evil:

Oh Leslie, I can see why you are peeved. I think now that you are aware she is doing this you can address it. I am not quite sure how but you can start to recognize situations in which she is likely to do this. Good luck.
FRED!!!!???

I am so shocked 8O 8O

I don't know what to offer either, but I know someone here will have direction for you. What about your breeder, perhaps they could offer advice?

So very sorry that you are dealing with this :ghug:
This is sounding a bit like Dougal and his problem. x
I somehow missed this - but it's the same problem, as Sprox's Mom says. I made a fairly long response - check that one out please. I'm about ready to run into town to teach classes, and I don't have the time right now to re-write. And I might miss this post again. :(
