You are a very good mommy, you care enough to figure out what you can do to make him a better guy! Maybe he is just very bored all pent up energy after being in the pen during the day. What about a kong? hide some goodies in there or maybe some other educational toy that he will have to really work and think to get what he wants? Maybe that will put his energy else where.
When Cooper was little he was a handful!!! we loved him to death but it did get old getting your hand nipped while he thought it was the greatest chew toy. LOL . The Kong helped him, and so did just good old exercise. We have a privacy fence but still walk him on a leash (afraid of 2 very mean large dogs that dig under there fence next door).....anyway I would just put his leash on and walk /run him to death....We would take a soccer ball and kick it he would go nuts chasing it....or indoors we took a small ball for him to chase it would were him down and the bitting/chewing greatly decreased!
I know you already know but it does get better, Cooper is 2 and still runs around like his pants are on fire all day, but I stayed very firm and consistent with him when he did the chewing/biting on our hands/feet etc.
Would yelp like REALLY high pitched and loud and would cross my arms in front of me and turn away from him and hand him a bully stick or chew toy.
As they say this too will pass but dang it hurry up already! lol |
