yoshi was much the same way (and still is every once in a while when he gets ultra excited). when my friends dogsat him at ~3 months, they said all he would do is nip and try and bite their feet and hands and just be a terror in general. i've been workin with him constantly on it and he is getting much better these days (though its still a work in progress). i really dont believe in letting him grow out of it on his own on the offchance that he might never. when he gets overexcited as soon as he starts getting in that mode and starts going after hands or feet i'll usually use an alpha dog technique on him or give him a short timeout in his crate (there are many here who wont' agree with the roll or the scruff of the neck, but i like it). he also knows my stern voice and i can get him to stop doing something now just by changing the tone of my voice. i think half of it is he is growing up and calming down, and the other half is me definitely being in control with him knowing it. |
