He doesn't bite to be mean but when you give him a treat or play with him he will bite down so hard and doesn't realize it hurts. Lacy was 11weeks and has a much softer mouth. She usually gets along with other small dogs well |
Michelle, I have two sisters that are 4 years old that do this. It frustrates me to no end. There were both raised in my house with their mother who is very gentle in taking treats. I have tried and tried to get them to be gentle in taking treats but it does no good. I feel like I am feeding alligators.
I really think I have no one to blame but myself for not teaching them better when they were puppies. They just get so excited at treat time and I think they just forget their manners. Part of it that they are completing with the others.
