| Thank you all... Yes he just finished his first class where he did very well. He learned sit, stay, down and come... One good thing is that most of the time when he's displaying this dominance, he usually listens when I tell him "No", or "Down". I will try to lay off the alfa thing laying him down on his back. I'll try just giving him some basic commands...
As for the clamping down of his jaws. He never does it with his toys. However, if he gets something small enough in there like a rock, stick, pine cone, just forget it. Sometimes it takes me as much as 10 minutes minutes to talk him out of it. Even the alpha thing doesn't work. Funny, because I've trained him to "give" when I want him to release a toy, or bone and he does it with no prob. I physically can't open his mouth, nor intice him to with food. I know he's still a baby, and everything goes in the mouth. I hope he grows out of it... Thanks again... |
