| Rico BITES! Hello, My little Rico is a biter. He is only 14 weeks old. I know he is young; but he is not teething. He just likes to bite. Everyone, everything. I tell him no and he doesn't listen. I hit him and he bites more. The groomer event said he has a problem. Any suggestions? I feel horrible! Thanks!

| Dont hit him. When he bites stick a toy in his mouth and say no bite. It is just puppy biting and he will outgrow it

| Don't ever hit him. Squirt him with a water bottle, and tell him no.

| Get ready to be patient! Rico is just a little guy... he's got a while in the biting stage yet. Just keep working with him. He will get better. He'll stop biting as much, and he'll also learn not to bite so hard. But if you paddle him, that will make him bite more. The water bottle worked well for us. Oh - and welcome to YT Lisa and Rico!!
