| nipping & biteing
My rott is a 5mt female 52 lbs and as of late she is getting more into nipping/ biteing me when she wants attention or when she gets involed in playing outside,I have constanly used the NO BITE command and also hold her mouth frimly shut or hold her by her scruff and I tell her to settle till she does , she will growl and bark and snap her jaws at me but will not bite after being scolded but after a couple of minutes or so she will nip with just her front teeth anywhere she can,like little sneak attacks,she does it in a play mode but I know its NOT to be tolerated under any means,like I stated this isnt all the time just seems like she gets wacky at certain times,and only does it to me and Im the one who she spends most of the time with ,besides my lab which she also nips and bites during play etc...She does GREAT in puppy classes with people and other dogs or when she meets strangers with or without dogs at a Flea Market etc,,,I feel its part of a play/wanting attention thing but shes can HURT especially when she nips unexpectedlly......Hope this is something with proper training she will grow out of.....Any other suggestion greatly apperciated Thanks........  |
