Just be patient, all dogs are different. Teddy was a biter and it took me I think two months to correct it and it only seemed to get worse before it got better. The most important thing it TO BE CONSISTENT. Every single time Teddy even lightly grazed me with his teeth I yelled "ow" VERY loudly to startle him. I would wait a couple of seconds and then start playing again. If he did it again I would yell again take a couple more seconds before playing again. Finally, if that didn't work and he bit again I would yell OW and walk away/stop playing with him for a minute or so and then return. Continue to do this diligently and I promise your dog will never bite you again. But like I said, it took me a while for Teddy to "get it" and believe me I was frustrated/crying when a month went by and I felt that things weren't improving...but they did and now I can trust Teddy with any adult/child with my eyes closed. |
