Lefty had a grooming appt. at 3 p.m. today, but...he snapped at the groomer while she was trying to wash his ears, and she pronounced him "unbathable." Needless to say, he did not get groomed today.

As I've already mentioned, we're working on the aggression issues here at home. However, these people (groomers, vets, etc.) only have a few minutes to show themselves as "alpha", and so I don't know that it will ever work with Lefty. He had to be muzzled during his Well Dog exam because he snapped at the vet when he was trying to examine his teeth.

Do any of you have dogs that turn into furry chainsaws at the vet or groomer's? Any advice?
