By the way, I tried all the other methods to keep him from biting...nothing worked until the squirt bottle.
I don't mess with him when he is eating or chewing on his nylabone. But if he has something in his mouth that is not puppy approved, I am very stern with him and say "drop it!" If he doesn't drop it, then I get the squirt bottle out.
You have to find out what works and be consistant with it.
Good luck. |
This is exactly what the dog trainer said to do. She said not to hit them on the nose or squeeze their mouth because that may encourage them to bite more. Terrior's always have to have the last word.
