Consistency is key, if you only do it sometimes, he won't learn not to bite! Good luck.  |
Yes, my Dunks loves to bite, even now at 9 months old. But a friend of mine who works with dogs said that when he tries to bite my hands, say no and ignore him or give him his toy to bite on. So far, I am losing the battle! He still bites, but I noticed that its being less than before. I'm going to try Archie's suggestion of gently holding his mouth close and giving him a toy to chew on instead and the ow-ow-ow sound as well..
I love YK!
