Time out does not work on dogs, even very smart dogs. They live in the moment, and any correction has to be done instantly. How old is he? How old was he when you got him? It sounds to me like he was taken from his mother too young. So you need to act as his mother would and snap at him when he bites. His mother would not pen him in another room for an hour. |
It could be a stage he'll outgrow. Sophie exhibited some of the same behavior when she was younger. Now she is 9 months and no longer bites our angles or hands. She growls when playing tug but that's about it. I think a time out works only to distract not to teach. Jackie and my :littleangSophie :aimeeyork |
It is just a stage he wilgrow out of it if you do not make a fuss and in grain the behaviour. I would only pay attention to him when he is not grr and is not biting at your ankles. JL |
The biting of the ankles will outgrow itself if you are persistent with the command "NO". Eventually he will realize to put the two together. Pasquale goes nuts with his toys...he shakes them like a mad man..but as soon as i say NO...he stops. He really didnt start catching on to things til he was 6 months...so your little one may still be young. Pasquale is now 1 yr and 3 months and he's the best dog i've ever owned...give it time. Dont get discouraged! Keep up your good mommy skills! :thumbup::D |

A quick nip with your fingers and maybe even make the sound of dog snapping at him, and he will soon learn that is not something that you will tolerate. Do not allow him to put his teeth on you at all, even in play. |
