12. I'm curious - what is the trainer suggesting to stop the biting?

I absolutely love animals, generally more than people. But there's a line in the sand with one that bites. Too much concern and liability. Are these just little love bites, or are they enough to hurt?

And what exactly has the trainer suggested to make her stop? (Just curious more than anything.)

I like the suggestion up-post about finding her a job to do. And no, you're not a horrible person. A horrible person dumps a dog somewhere and doesn't look back. You have a situation with a dog and you're trying to find a solution. That is NOT horrible.
