Wondering if any of you guys have seen this behavior. Whenever I grab my new foster's collar, he rolls over on his back and then grabs my arm in his jaws. It's not a bite but it's a pretty hard grab-- no blood but it definitely leaves marks. He's a year or so old. If I'm trying to get him to go out or into his crate, he just lays there and I have to drag him around with my arm in his mouth. Any idea what's causing this and what I can do about it? He can't go to an adoptive home like this-- somebody will say "dog bite" so fast he'll never know what hit him.
