- For the biting, what I've heard is: when he "mouths" you, ie, play biting, squeal loudly, even if it didn't hurt, and turn your back for 5 seconds or so - essentially give him a time out. Eventually he learns that mouthing stops his fun time. |
Thanks for the advice. The thing is, his crate is visible to us. He looks up at me with his cute puppydog eyes and then he turns evil and barks lol. I have a puppy kong with peanut butter..he's gotten bored with it though..
I really should practice ignoring him. That's probably the hardest part.
