| Re: Biting
We have a 14wk rott, Diezel. We are working on aus. He's 50/50 with me but the problem is he's an eater. Eats everything outside and inside. I only take him out because I can (usually) get him to aus. Yesterday while in the house he ate a knee high nylon (for sure an obstruction!). My 13 year old (who was right next to him) tried aus and he wouldnt drop it. She tried to get it and he growled and bit her. Very small amount of blood but I am very upset. I got to them within seconds and got the nylon without a problem. My question is he will "behave" for my husband and myself but I don't know what to do with my daughter. We have a trainner and I work him but I won't see him for a week. He shows no food aggression. We've all "tested" him by petting him while eating since we brought him home and no problem. When he does the revere he does well except for the aus~directly gets it with a single bite and directly back with a sitz. Should I have our 13 work with him? I know he knows we dominate him but I wonder the relationship of a dog and our daughter. What does he think?
