I was going to trim the hair on her ears but she did not agree with that idea lol I had the scissors and eveything in the bathroom because I had just done happy, I tried calling shadow, nope. cliped a leash on her she nearly bit me for that one, tried briber her lol I got her to move 2 feet bribing but as soon as she took the treat she jumped back to where she was! gave up on that idea!
Wow. Your dog tried to bite you for attempting to put her leash on? Yikes! My dog would be a sorry dog if he ever tried that with me. I have zero tolerance for biting dogs, and dogs that do not accept me as the alpha dog in the pack. It's not like you were hurting her, by triming hair around her ears.
No offense, but by giving up on that idea, you just completely reinforced her bad behavior. You just showed her that if she tries to bite you, and won't "let" you touch her, that you will give up and she will win. Bad idea. My dogs are not given the choice of whether they will "let" me do something to them or not. I will do it, and they know it. I am the human, I am in in charge.
Have you considered obedience training for this dog?

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
