Donating YT 14K Club Member | He cries and yelps not because he's hurt but because he doesn't like to be held down. Turn a deaf ear to it and repeat in a stern voice, "NO BITE!" It may take a while but he'll eventually get it. Also, don't just let your bf do the "discliplining". You need to get in there too and assert your authority as the alpha. Same as kids...if they know they can run over you, that's exactly what they'll do. So, "get a pair" and get after it!

| lol when I found that out, I said that's something Jake will just have to do without. But, I ended up buying them. Remember the girl who posted that her boyfriend tried all of their dog's treats before giving them to him to make sure they tasted good? He even tried bully sticks......not knowing what they were! That was a funny thread.

| Yeah, it was funny! Someone asked her if she knew what bully sticks were, and she said "no, what are they?" She couldn't wait to tell her boyfriend lol...but, he was a good sport about it.

| Yes it is...and no Winston has never had one either. Poor Winston is so darned deprived... As far as the biting goes, I agree with what's been said here so far. When you tell Milo "NO BITING" you have to really mean it...but stay calm and assertive, you don't have to raise your voice and yell at him or hurt him for him to know you mean business. I would firmly say "NO BITING", roll him on his backside and gently, but yet firmly hold him down with one hand across his chest area. He'll probably yelp and try to squirm away...just hold him like that until he relaxes, you'll hear him sigh when he finally gives in. Good luck to you and no more biting Milo!!!

| sounds like you got a little feisty one. when my dog used to bite, i would use a very stern, and somewhat loud "NO". i was very persistent, and she eventually learned. when my bichon gets a little rowdy, i place her on her back, and hold her down, and again use a very stern "NO". IMO, you need to be stern and show a little dominance with feisty and tough dogs. you don't want to hurt them, but you need to let them know what they are doing is wrong.
