IDK, My Biewer growls when she wants attention. It took me off guard when I first got her. She had her front paws in my lap, and I started to freak. Then I decided to make light of it and laughed and in a high voice I said "What are you doing? You silly dog." Laughing accomplishes two things, it helps me relax, and it helps the dog to relax, as she should know I'm not going to be mean to her when I'm laughing.
Sapphire will bite anything that moves. To get her out of biting people, I set a bowl of Cheerios by the door for anyone coming in to give her a treat, tossing them to her first, then out of hand once she relaxed.
Is your dog biting hard? If so, you may need to get a professional trainer to work with him. I would think some basic obedience will help him too. |
