Very good advice from above posts.
I have two quite large, maybe 6 to 8 inch long actual cow bones. I bought them for my daughters two large dogs, they were basted when I bought them.
The large dogs licked and chewed all of the basting off of them and licked out all the inside, but my yorkies love to chew on them. They will never get any pieces of bone off of them, the bones are much too hard, but they love to chew on them anyway.
I also want to add, that I would be a little more aggresive about him biting my hand. If he bite me I would immediately use my hand to simulate a dogs mouth and I would snap at him like a dog would and use my hand to nip at his shoulder. Giving a firm quick firm pinch.
That is how the alpha dog would deal with it. In dog packs you don't get time out, you get snapped at and then shunned.
Dogs under stand dog language and discipline much better than they understand people language. They can learn our language, but if you want to get your point across quickly, speak to them in their own language. |
