What made me come and ask here is that my uncle was going near the door, not even leaving and my dog just latched onto his ankle. After that we tapped him on the nose and told him "bad dog" in a firm and loud tone. Someone has told me that we should spray him with a spray bottle if he tries to bite and that doing so will make him think that it is a bad thing and stop, would that work too? |
yup, a spray bottle might work too. i used it on morgan when she was chewing on sometime she wasn't suppose to. she'd see me coming and stop before i got close enough to really correct her so i got a squirt bottle and was able to spray her while she was doing it from sitting on the couch. that fixed her little wagon LOL
you may want to try the positive treat for being a good boy route first instead of a negative response. if the leash and treating approach doesn't work then go with the squirt gun
