10 yr old Pom started biting people

by Jr
(NY)

I have a ten yr old Pomeranian who all of a sudden biting strangers even when she is the one who comes up to the person. I am thinking maybe a child petted her wrong because she is more aggressive with children. She has always been friendly and has never bitten anyone before. It also might be her older age. Any advice is highly appreciated.

RE 10 YR OLD POM
by: Laura

My Pom is 8 years old and he's grown up with my kids, but recently he's been aggressive with them if they come near me. He's a nervous Nelly, but has always been very gentle. He went after my little one and she's 5, I have no idea? Maybe it's the breed? He's my first Pom, I've had HIM since he was 4 months old.

One of my daughter's friends gave me a hug the other day and he went after her and made her bleed. He has never been that way before. I don't know what to do and/or why he's doing it?

11 year old pom just bit someone
by: Anonymous

My 11 year old pom who has never been aggressive toward people but has tried to show dominance over animals just bit my friend on the face. I understand that when they get older their temperment changes but my husband and I are having a baby and he can't be biting people. I need to know how to stop this behavior quickly. Please help!!!
