Lab Biting, Pulling, Doesnt Listen

Question
I have a lab who is 7months old. He is not responding well to commands and is very stubborn. He pulls on a leash to the point you don't even want to walk him. There's no control. We tried a harness, reg nylon collor and a chain choke collar. He constantly playbites your hands or cloths, and now cds and the couch. We tried bitter apple among our verbals no's. We tried shaking pennys in a bottle as well, Nothing is working! If we can just get him under control on a leash and stop his bitting/chewing we be on a good path to continue training. Any ideas?! Thank you!

Answer
Hello and thank you for your question,


For pulling on leash get hima head collar it goes around teh nose and around the back of the neck, Gentle leader is the best I have found my lab was jsut like yours before on her walks... I couldnt stand to walk her it was so anoying until the vet reccomended the gentle leader when shepulled me into the waiting room lol. For bitting/chewing when hes caught chewing something hes not supposed to say NO! and place one of his proper chews in his mouth, I did this with all my dogs when they were pups it worked great.
