>bites very quickly and it hurts and draws blood as
>well as scars. My husband bent down to kiss him and
>he was bit on the nose and we had to go to the

>but even if I try to move his food dish he will try to
>bite me, and usually succeeds. I have been held

>is biting my feet and heels. Everyone I know has told
>me to get rid of him, but I will never do it. I am

Answer
The best thing to do is get in touch with a dog trainer that deal with aggresive dogs,regardless of size this is serious and needs to be adressed

Getting him into obediance classes soon,rather then later will help ALOT,and may even cure his problems,as dog trainers can work wonders
