OK so I am going to probably get negativity from this, but I do not agree with everyone else. I do not know if your BF was rough with Oliver and I hope he was NOT, but the important thing is that it is NEVER ok for them to bite. Yes, he had a rough life, and yes he needs time to adjust.. but blaming it on the BF is unfair. And honestly, BF is correct if he blamed it on you (who trains him). YOU are the one responsible to teach him not to bite. As much as you do not want to discipline him, it is doing him a disservice if you do not correct him. I would sit down with the BF and talk to him about being more patient and also about standing by you while you are training Oliver. It is so much easier to work together than to battle about it. Poor baby is probably already so confused and everyone needs to work together patiently to help him over come these issues. |
