We have also got a rhodesian ridgeback (6 yrs) and all my yorkie wants to do is play but he bites.
Anyone with advice on stopping my baby from biting and introducing the 2 dogs will help so much   : |
Since it is aggressive biting, I would go into the member list and send member scootiebootie a pm, asking for email lessons immediately. From what I've heard they are really good, and I think they come at a really good price too!
Or check for behavioural specialists in your area that will do private lessons. But if it's only getting worse, you need outside help ASAP
If you really don't want to do that, have you tried the ignoring technique? Your pup needs a serious time-out EVERY time he bites... And remember to ALWAYS reward good behaviour (even if it's only for a short period of time.)
And it may be benneficial to switch between spray bottles and cans of coins so that he doesn't get used to them. Also, not sure if it will work for your pup, but sometimes I just blow in Scooter's face quickly (kinda like the spray bottle idea, but with air) he hates that too...
Again, my best suggestion is outside help at this point, because it sounds like nothing else is working. Best of luck to you!
