If your playing with him with your hands (such as rolling him over, scratching around on him, holding a muzzle or ear and so on) he is getting mixed signals when you say no then extend your hand again. Give him a good beef femur bone to chew on. The butcher will slice them to even and inch thick or less. I boil these, cut off any meat and take out the marrow. They DO NOT splinter after being cooked. Puppies have a very short attention span, so your going to have to be persistant and consistant in your training. Don't use words of any kind while getting his attention off of what you don't want and on to something he should have. That comes when he's older. Any reaction you give him when he bites you, whether it's neg. or pos. will only get him that much more excited and permission to keep doing it. |
