Unfortunately, that wasn't the strangest thing the groomer said. She asked where I got him; when I told her the name of the shelter she said that they'd "done this before" and that they shouldn't give away dogs that snap or bite. Never mind the position that would leave poor Lefty in! (Besides, he's only snapped 3 times since we got him--at the vet, at me, and at her--no one was actually bitten.)

I don't blame her for not wanting to give him a bath, but after talking to you all I no longer think he did anything too terribly out of the ordinary. I'll just keep working on this issue and if he needs to be muzzled he'll be muzzled. Hearing that about the Akita makes me feel better too.
