He is back to nipping this morning, so we are going to continue to do those exercises until he gets it! I have not tried one...will it hurt his teeth? Sometimes I see him chewing on the wire crate rather than his toys....not sure if this is bad...I tried giving him a frozen carrot yesterday but he was kind of so/so with it...He ended up vomiting a little last night, but it seemed to be just digested kibble (no bad smell, or anything) I think he ate too much...he's used to eating freely whenever he wants and I thought it was okay for him to eat a little more if he seemed hungry and he's exercising, but it seems as if the kibble and carrot upset his tummy  He's doing better this morning though. I gave him a little bit and some water and he seems to be holding it down fine... |
I don't think the chain will hurt him, I'm guessing it just won't be as fun to chew on, so he will leave it alone. I'm happy to hear that you are trying the exercises. I hope they help.
Puppies sold in pet stores are uswually taken fom their mothers around 6 weeks of age, so they have not learned how to play nice, or how to be submissive. So now you have the job of teaching him.
