What is fear bitter Is she not nice?

  A fear biter is not a mean dog just one that lashes out in fear. 

  A few monthes ago my neighbors asked me to take care of their 3 dogs while 
they took a long weekend away. I was comfortable with their 2 Goldens and had 
no problem. They knew me and are extremely friendly. Their chihuahua was 
another story. She is 2 lbs of  tough cookie. Day one she wanted to rip my hand 
off. Day 2 I persisted in sitting in front of her , offering treats and talking 
calmly to her. I sat for an hour and then approached her and picked her up 
while she snapped at me. Once I had her in my arms - I continued to talk calm , 
pet her , and let her know I was no harm to her. By day 3 she was greeting me 
with wagging tail. Fear biters are not mean...just frightened. I wouldn't for a 
minute do what I did with a large dog. I know chihuahua's , so I felt 
comfortable even with a so called biter.
