Tire him out by walking him or throwing a ball with him, never encourage biting games. If you are playing with him and he wants to bite, yelp at him, if it doesn't stop, yelp and them move away from him. that way he will learn that if he wants to play with you he has to play nice.
Likewise if he is on your lap and wants to chew on you, put him on the floor. When you pick him up make sure he has something to chew on besides you.
They are babies and it all just takes time. But the main thing is, learn to speak their language. Dogs Don't communicate verbally, they comunicate through actions.
As for taking him out to potty, don't allow him the run of the house. And don't chase him. Chasing just makes it a game. Teach him to come to you by treating him when he comes. but use the treats as a reward, not a bribe, there is a big difference.
Potty training takes a lot of time and patience. If you find that what you are doing isn't working, then try something different. It's all just a matter of you figuring out how to communicate to him what you expect of him. |
