When Coby gets rough like that - the best thing to do is to say no and turn your back on him - COMPLETELY ignore him. When he is calm, go back to patting/playig with him. If he starts getting rough again - do the same thing - turn your back and ignore him. Eventually he will learn that rough play/biting doesn't get him any attention at all. I employed this method with my Jack Russell when he was a puppy - as he was very rough and mouthy. It worked like a charm and he is now EXTREMELY well behaved and gentle. Good Luck! |
