He does go bananas sometimes with the nipping; when it does happen it is a great time to exercise patience and I let him be. He has a very heavy mouth for his age. I have the privledge to work from home so I spend all waking moments with Ace. I have for the last 2 weeks been taking him to different environments without fail. All unsupervised time is spent in his kennel which he readily accepts. Thanks everyone I really mean it. | One of the biggest things to remember, and Larry touched on this:
A puppy must be allowed to be a puppy before he can be a DOG.
