I think if you put your mind to this, read up on some training tips you will get it. I also think you have more sympathy for Coby being where you got him. So maybe with that said you dont want to tell him NO or discipline him, you feel sorry for him. I think as long as you think that you will have trouble with him. Just like "Ceaser Millian" says " dont feel sorry for them.
He is in a great home and he is safe, so you as the new Mom need show Coby who is boss. Not the other way around. If you are a sucker with him he will catch on and then you will have more trouble on your hands. I agree if you raised a daughter..you can very well raise a well balanced dog. It takes time and effort. You have to commit to him, and not give up. Keep up with it and he will get it.

Ok...my Winston is 4 1/2 months old. He has this period of time during the day that I call his "crazy hour". All he wants to do is chase my feet and bite them. He has actually gotten the back of my ankle a few time and let me tell you...it hurt! I just turned around and told him "NO!" If he comes back to play after that I ignore him to show him biting is not acceptable. Then he usually stops. If he persists to still go after my feet I show him a toy that he is allowed to chew. He is catching on but it takes time. My puppy is not from a mill and I don't consider him mean. He is just being a puppy.

Now, if he does this to your daughter you have to teach her to be stern with him too. Please encourage her not to run from him when he does this either. If she does run...he just sees it as a game and will take the opportunity he has to run after her and nip at the feet. Just give him some time. He will get better. My Winston is getting better with it everyday. I know its hard but he will get there...I promise. I hope this helps

Even when they are eating a bone. I will take it from them look at and then give it right back. Now they trust that they will get it back and won't be agressive toward their things. They will share nice. This really isn't rocket science you know. If you can raise a child you can do this. Alot of the training is similar. good luck!!

I do the same thing with my babies, I always take there toys and then give them back, None of mine are aggressive, I beleive he is just learning to play
he will catch on to nice play, rough play, He is still very young so he must be
taught his manners Have many toys avaliable for him to play with

When Coby gets rough like that - the best thing to do is to say no and turn your back on him - COMPLETELY ignore him. When he is calm, go back to patting/playig with him. If he starts getting rough again - do the same thing - turn your back and ignore him. Eventually he will learn that rough play/biting doesn't get him any attention at all. I employed this method with my Jack Russell when he was a puppy - as he was very rough and mouthy. It worked like a charm and he is now EXTREMELY well behaved and gentle. Good Luck!
