 Re: At wit's end with the biting
Thank you all for your answers- yes, I will use paragraphs. Sorry, it was my first post and I wasn't sure how it would appear from typing it in the little box :) What about the hand on collar cupping his muzzle method that I read about on a thread on here. Do you think that's appropriate? Do you hold on to the muzzle until they yip? Or just shut their mouth and then let go?
I've found that when I go to grab his collar he knows he's going to get a correction and he goes to nip at my hand as I reach for him. I decided I'm just going to keep him on the leash when he's out so I can grab onto that if I need to quickly.
I have to say I was at my most frustrated last night, but coming to this site and reading everyone's posts helps to reassure me. I'm feeling much better about our puppy today and he needs that from me as much as I need to feel that way. Thanks again. |
