I've been blessed in MANY ways with Oliver. Potty trained really young, was easy to teach tricks to, never got carsick (and we drive A LOT), doesn't pull on his leash when walking, has never been a sick boy, loves baths.... BUT
I am going CRAZY over his barking and nipping. He's six and 1/2 months old and I have CONSTANTLY kept on him about nipping by saying no and closing his mouth with my hand for a few seconds (he does it when he wants to play or when I tell him not to do something, so i know that is bad) He barks whenever I tell him "NO" it is seriously like he is talking back!! (It's funny in a way but I know it can end up being a problem!!)
Can someone please suggest some things I can do. I really love training him and he really is a good and smart dog (too smart, I think haha) and I just need some suggestions about the barking/nipping/teen behavior.
Thank y ou all, in advance. I know someone can help me out
