Shih Tzu now biting at age 6 ..why

My 6 year old who was obedience trained at 3-6 monts at two different facilities and then went on to the Delta certification for therapy dogs (and passed with 100%) is now biting and growling which is relatively new behavior. She has been well socialized with both dogs and prople. How do I deter this behavior?

Dominance: Dog training's dirty word

My 4 month old black lab has alot of energy. Sometimes, after a walk, during a walk or when just playing in the backyard he will stop, look at me then basically "atttack" me... He jumps up starts biting at me. I have tried the "ignoring" thing and the "rolling on the back and "muzzling" thing as well, he reacts better to the dominance roll. Any suggestions?

Dominance: Dog training's dirty word

In a group of dogs or any animals there is a leader and rank, most people shouldn't try physical training because they don't know how to read the dog and the correct timing, but when done correctly I think it can be better than reward training. But for most people reward training is the only way to go because, they can't physically train their dog properly which leads to problems, but reward training is much easier to understand and for most people can't be done improperly.

Choosing a good dog trainer

From this article it suggests that a good dog trainer shouldn't do any training that mimicks the way dogs naturally learn. That's why so many dogs are ruined and these idiotic trainers don't even know the psychological damage they are doing.
