Question
How can I redirect a cattle dog puppy from biting pants legs?
Answer
This is a totally normal issue and cattle dogs tend to be as determined as some of the other "biting" breeds. I breed working GSD and Malinois but when we had a cattle dog, she was one of the worst biters as a puppy.
They are persistent little guys.
Redirection is good, but often redirection from a person to a static object like a tug tethered to something is not as appealing to them. I use food whenever possible for redirection with puppies that I don't
want to bite at all. For my bite sport puppies, I use tugs more, but for dogs that I don't want biting at all I try to use food. I find putting the food on the ground works better than from my hand for some puppies.
It breaks the train of thought, so to speak.
