I am not really having much trouble with potty training, so guess I need to be thankful for that.
I am going to try grabbging him by the scruff of his neck and pinching him as nothing else seems to work. He was an only child, so know that is part of the problem. I also acquired him when he was 8 weeks old. I think he was driving his mother nuts. |
I'm not sure I would ever pinch a dog. I don't think aggression breeds anything but aggression - but I understand your frustration. I have said "no bites" until I am up the wall - but it is sinking in. Bennett was 1 of a litter of 6 - so being an only child was not his problem. Bennett is not biting - he is "mouthing" and lunging - but the end result is the same...unacceptable! Good luck and keep me posted. I always like to hear what has worked for someone else!
