[Sherrie]

We have an 8 month old husky puppy named Apache. He was purchased from a pet store when he was about 12wks old. He was a long awaited gift for my 14 year old daughter--the dog that she always wanted. She had been enjoying his love and affection until about two months ago, when he started biting her. He seems to almost "turn" on her, she could be playing with him or ignoring him, but his behavior is still the same once he has started. He has not broken the skin, but she gets quite bruised. He knows exactly what he is doing, because when my husband is around, Apache will wait until he leaves the room to do it. He has even changed on a dime from biting to licking, the minute my husband appears in the doorway. He has recently been neutered, and we have tried several things suggested by several different trainers. All seem to work for a very short time, but within a matter of a very short time he is right back to behaving in the same manner. We have not finished reading all of Daniel's books, but we will certainly be using some of the things that we have not used yet. I could use any feedback that anyone could give. He has, on a few occasions, used the same behavior with a few other family members. We do not want to have to get rid of him. My daughter turns 15 tomorrow, and she would like nothing better than having that lovable pet that she has always wanted.
