When I correct my dog with the pinch collar, he flips & turns so I can't correct him. When I do correct him, sometimes he nips back. What can I do?

Full Question:
Hi,



I have a 4 and a half month old American Bulldog. When I go to correct him with the pinch collar, he flips & turns so I can't correct him. When I do correct him, sometimes he nips back. What can I do to correct him quicker?



Thank you,
Dawn

I honestly can’t think of any reason why you should be correcting a 4 month old puppy of any breed with a pinch collar. He’s biting because he doesn’t understand and you are being unfair to him.



Puppies at this age need to be taught what we expect from them, not corrected. Corrections come later, once the dog 100% understands what you are asking of him.



Read this article called The Groundwork to Becoming Your Puppy’s Pack Leader.

These resources will give you the tools to teach your pup without correcting him to the point he feels the need to defend himself.
