Need Encouragement... First of all I am working with a trainer already...but I'm still feeling a little down. But, the big one that tends to really make me sad is that when I tell Sebastian "no" and try to enforce any sort of rules (like not jumping up at me, getting off the couch, etc.) his immediate reaction when I reach toward him is to which his head back toward my hand and nip at me. He has never bitten down, but he puts his teeth on me, and it's not in a playful way. It really is affecting my relationship with him. He is so sweet 90% of the time, but if he feels like I'm trying to prevent him from doing something he wants to do he gets really nippy. I know this can only get worse. I've been working so hard to show that I'm the leader. But, maybe I'm just not feeling it enough inside for him to get the message. I could really use some encouragement and any advice you may have. Thanks!
