The readers can make up thier own minds on what to do, and i doubt that I will change your mind. But you should never fear your pets. Now if you are working wsith strnage dogs, the advice would be totally different.f
But this person was asking about a yorkie puppy, not a full grown pitt bull. They do not understand human talk until they have been taught commands. But if they are biting you, you do not have the luxury of asking them kindly to trade a forbidden item for a treat.
And for the person who says her dog understands NO Bite and will start to lick her. Your dog should not be biting your hand in the first place. I never allowed mine to chew on me when they were puppies and they learned from the very beginning that they could not bite me in play or in anger. |
A dog bite is a dog bite and I give a tinkers hindend the dogs size. It bites it going to have to be put down in most states and provinces unless you can call in Jean or James or Nick to get them off death row.
You teach bite control not no bite or you get a dog that does not learn it has pounds pre square inch that can do damage.
The things little dogs go after hands feet and noses, back of your leg. They bite that you can loose fingers and ties and a nose do to tendon damage and nerve damage.
They is a long standing story and it is true of a big therapy dog with its canine good citizen walking out a sliding hospital door.... tail got caught in the door... dog turned around and bite... what it that dog doing in a hospital with clients without bite inhibition or control.. the knowing when your teeth hit skin that you pull up.... should not have happened and would not if the dog been taught gentle over a no bite ever.
Only time mine has ever laid her teeth in me was when I caused it accidental pain and it pulled up as soon as she hit skin... and is a yorkie and is extremely aggressive and under great management.
