QuestionI have a five month old shitzu/bichon mix puppy. We are having problems with him nipping. When he is playing he gets very aggressive and trys biting us. Not to hurt us intentionally...but it does hurt. I have tried saying ouch in a loud voice and ignoring him but it does not seem to work. He just seems to get more aggressive. When he does this I put him in his kennel..but it is not stopping. My young grand daughter came to stay with us for a short time and he kept trying to nip at her. any suggestions as to how we can get him to stop this behavior?
AnswerUse a water bottle and tell him no loud and firm-that usually works
it will also help to enroll him in obedience classes as he is about the right age for that,and a trainer will go through the steps with you on how to correct any problems he has no
