Appreciate any and all recommendations to try. |
Welcome to YT
Have you tried doing a high pitched yelp (to say it really hurts) followed by a low sounding and firm "no" (to say it's NOT okay to bite)? Low sounding, like a man's voice. I find that if you use a high-pitched Minnie Mouse type voice it means play and a low-pitched manly voice means you are serious.

Thanks for the replies guys... i guess we're doing everything right.. just gotta be patient.
any recommendations on some bone toys? i think he would really enjoy some kind of bone with a taste to it but ive heard bad things about the rawhide ones... we got him 2 nylabone toys but he has since lost interest... like almost everything else lol. Brand and size recommendations?? |
Scottie didn't like chewing Nylabones at first either. But eventually he did (months later). In the beginning he liked smaller plush toys more, like the Teddy Bear Toy (Extra Small) By Kong:
Amazon or the Small Beaver Toy by Kong:
