Re: Our 7 year old Rottie bites my 23 year old son.

Regardless of whether your dog has learned the "drop" command his decision to bite a family member is a very serious one. It speaks volumes about the relationship.

Teaching him the drop command will not "fix" the underlying issue(s) ... I have seen many dogs that know basic OB including the drop command that still bite. Obedience will not fix behavioural problems.
