| Biting when saying no Osiris had been backing off with getting too aggressive with his toys but for some reason when we tell him no how tries to bite anything he can around him ... i think its him rebelling back, but anyhow how can i prevent him from biting back when i say no? |

| hmm.. how about when you say no and he tries to bite, you take away his toy for few minutes then give it back to him and do this consistently. Hope this helps you

YT Addict | We had a golden puppy when my little girl was about 4 years old. And he would get to playing to hard and would bit harder then what you would wanted and we would pop him on the nose and say no. But he would just do it again, until one day he did it to my 4 year old little girl and she bit him back on his nose. The golden about 5 months old at the time, cryed out and she looked at him and said if you bit me I will bit you back. Do you know that dog never played biting with her again. It was very funny!!! but he knew at that time she was boss and it sound like her baby think he is boss. Good luck. |

| Maybe you could try saying hey! instead of no. Or pointing at him and snapping your fingers. Just a thought. Good Luck! |

| hmmm how about when he chews on something, spray this thing called granny's bitter apple spray on it. Maybe he won't chew at it again since the spray taste is not yummy. I have this spray(bought it at Petsmart) because when Mimi was a puppy she used to chew on all my wires..(ugh spent so much money on buying new wires for printer, charger, and etc lol) Best of luck.

| If he is teething, that may be why. If he's not, it could be behavioral. He may be acting territorial. He may have a favorite toy and get mad when its taken away from him. My Uni was growling whenever you get close to her when she was chewing on a toy, but it was because my bro in law was hyping her up to growl when he tried to take her toy away. What I did was when she had a toy, I came up to her towards her tail, and petted her, not trying to take her toy, being very passive and calm. Say good girl, and just hang out with her. Do not try to take the toy away. Eventually she started to trust me that I would not take it away from her, and she let me slowly take the toy from her mouth because she knew i would give it back. If he is biting the couch, or blanket on the bed, when you take away the toy, it just means he is frustrated. He was just biting something, and it's gone, so he says "hey what else can i bite now" and he will bite whatever that is in front of his face. When my Uni was teething she was biting the baseboards by the carpet, shredded the drywall, tearing it off in strips! If they are teething, just let them do it, they need to bite!

| You are setting off his play behavior when you are correcting him When You say NO! It's means all activity stops ..... toys are taken away and attention to him goes away too Do not get into a habit of saying ANYTHING after a NO correction That will just make him think ... Hey, they wanna play

| yes that is a great idea we take away his toys but tend to give him attention within five minutes...lately he has been thinking he is the boss and when he does not get his way he will huff and try to bite you. |

| Yes.... he thinks this is all a game which most puppies do But its your job and Believe me ... its in your best interest to make him realize that you mean business Scolding or conversation to dogs is just noise They think youre joining in on the fun
