 biting
i've tried everything...
spray water bottle doesn't work...she loves water and thinks it's a game.
coins in a can...she just barks at it...another behaviour i don't want.
walking away...she just follows and bites at pants legs and barks.
holding her down by the back of her neck...this just makes her mad and more aggressive.
saying 'ah' loudly...this worked for a couple days...but now it's just another sound.
well...
the only thing that has worked for me is the broom...kayden HATES the broom.
i just kept it in the corner beside the couch...and when she would bite my feet...i would just pick it up and tap the floor with it a couple times...it scared kayden...and she hid for a few minutes...but it got her attention. so i just kept it there and pretty soon, i would just act like i was reaching for it and she would quit.
then...i got tired of having the broom in the living room...so i got out the little hand broom. this works just as good.
i would always say 'i'm gonna get the broom' emphasis on broom
now that's all i have to say...i don't even have to get it anymore.
good luck
