What is the WORST thing your dog does...

[Whispering Winds]

He isn't being mean about it; he just wants to play. You can tell by the look on his face, this is not being mean to HIM. I am a terrible spoiler of animals, and I know not a good thing to do. . .did the same thing to my kids . . .I can't help it. I keep thinking he will outgrow it, but Lucy our old girl bites the tips of our fingers when we are walking and she is walking along aside of us. Just love bites, she just wants us to know she is there. Maybe its in the water!!!!!

My Malamute was mouthy like that also, every now and again he forgets and cuts a finger or 2 , yep hurts like mad,
The way I taught him not to do this is"
when he opens his mouth to grab, quickly stick your whole hand in his mouth straight back and gag the hell out of him, as your pulling back out grab the upper lip between 2 long fingernails and pinch like no tomorrow, this is the equivelence of biting him back.
DO NOT let up on the pinch untill you have his full attention then right in his face NO BITE! yell it really loud and let go.
Took Thunder exactly twice and he learned that I bite back. but like I said it will ( might, depending on attention span) need to be repeated a few times untill he gets it through his head its unacceptable.

I have a german short-hair pointer who eats the crotch out of undies and my pj bottoms. Put a pair on one day and felt the breeze.....
