Thank you for both of your responses but, I am still unsure of what to do. I worry about taking them to obedience too, in fear of someone getting bitten. I am VERY paranoid. In fact, when people come over to visit, I usually take the dogs to my parents house or when I'm at home, my husband and I gate off the upstairs kitchen and only allow people to go downstairs. When people do come over and the dogs are home they bark non-stop at them and my Lhasa growls and tries to bite people. He has bitten and drawn blood before and I fear something happening and having him be put to sleep if this ever happens again. I LOVE my dogs and consider them my life but, I just don't know what to do about their behaviors sometimes. My Lhasa is neutered and my Eskie will be spayed next month. I do need help with training them but, I am so afraid of the outcome. Are there any other methods I could try myself? I purchased a clicker a couple years ago but, it didn't seem to help with my Lhasa. He just does what he wants and I worry that I may never be able to "fix" his problems of when he was abused. As far as my Eskie goes.....I just want them to get along and have a happy life here! My problems with her are the digging, going potty in the house, destroying items, etc. typical puppy behaviors I suppose. I guess I just feel alone sometimes and wonder if anyone else has had similiar issues with their animals.
