I had a real problem with my dog biting too. I don't think she had enough time with her mama. It was getting really old and it hurt, so after hearing the term CTJ (come to Jesus) meeting, I decided that was just what she needed. The next time she bit me, I was ready. I grabbed her by the jowl (lots of loose skin there) and the scruff of her neck and pushed her down on the floor and said "no bite". I also figured I'd try a little dog languange and while doing this, I was baring my teeth. I wouldn't recommend this for any dog, but it stopped our problem almost immediately. After that, all I would have to do is make a mean face and say "no bite" and she'd look submissive and settle down. I've never had such an assertive and bossy dog before, but then again, this is my first Rott. It's not easy finding the appropriate correction for your dog. You might want to check out the book "Culture Clash" by Jean Donaldson. It's really interesting and helps get you to the root of the problem. BTW - My girl just turned 2 years old and is finally starting to mellow. She is still bossy, but I wouldn't have her any other way!
