Hello all, i'm having some problems with my 4 month old pomeranian. It seems when doing something he doesn't like (moving him when he's tired, when he's scared of something AKA the vet), he freaks out. He bit me once and my fiance more than once. I'm kind of stuck, as i've talked with a few vets, and a trainer about how to handle him(they both said roll him on his back and hold his muzzle shut until he calms down, then put him in his kennel for a few minutes). Doing this has only made matters worse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aggression begets aggression. I would look for a positive reinforcement based trainer and get into a puppy kindergarten ASAP. Good luck!
