I know it's not funny but I had to giggle a bit at the vision of this little boy running muck being "evil". Well, it sounds like he is trying to rule the house and needs to be let known who the pack leader is, You. If you free feed him I would stop doing that immediately and feed him on a schedule. When you get ready to feed his food make him do some obedience trials first. It also helps to put your hand in the food (to leave your scent). In the wild the pack leader would eat first and then the subordinates. Sounds archaic but he is a dog (gasp) and although we love to spoil them, when they start acting up like this we need to treat them as such. Make nothing free for him, make him have to do something in order to get anything from you. This means if he wants your attention he must sit first before you pick him up. If he wants to eat make him sit first before he gets his food, etc. When you have play sessions with him make sure YOU are the one who determines when play time is over and not him. When he does go to bite you place you hand over his mouth (in a sense closing it) and tell him NO BITE (in a loud low voice), then stick a toy in his mouth. Do this every time he goes to try and bite you. I also have to ask does he sleep with you at night? |
