He is also gets aggressive for no reason and growls at us sometimes but we have never ever smacked him to teach him right, all we do is love our baby |
When you say NO you have to walk away and completely ignore him - no matter how much barking or whining he does. Then, once he's quiet, you can give him your attention and keep playing. Repeat this EVERY time they bite - no exceptions. You might have to do it 100x until they learn, but they will!
And you spray the squirt bottle right on him if you want to try that, though personally I prefer the can full of coins method.
You need to teach him the aggressive behaviour isn't appropriate either - try saying NO and using the ignoring technique again. And don't resort to hitting them ever! They'll learn using other methods!
Also they'll never listen to you if you don't become the alpha dog. Make sure YOU always initiate play time (start and end), always walk through doors before them, and make them sit and be quiet before they get their food. They'll learn that you're boss that way.
