I received my basic obedience tape from Ed and have viewed it. My problem is his "biting." My GSD is almost 6 mo. He already knew his sit, down, stay, come commands - but I want to "refine" them and move on to distractions. Praising this dog is difficult at best. He must have his mouth on you constantly. Arms, legs, anywhere. He is a pet - will not be doing any competition. It is hard to tell him he is a "good dog" for sitting so quickly - while he is biting my hand or leg. I know this is prey drive and it is a good thing - should I stop all obedience training and work on correcting him for biting first? (he does not bite down, just mouths). He will stop with "no bite" but then starts back up. He has had gentle corrections. I have read all the articles Ed has on biting, etc. But I guess I am a little dense, I need it spelled out. Any help appreciated (please be kind).
If your dog is only a pet mouthing you at 6 months of age should not be aloud. You must correct him hard for not responding to the no bite. And when he does listen praise him and play with him. He must learn that bitting you is never an option.
Thank you for your prompt response. Every one is always telling me this is natural and he will outgrow it. Just walked to the mailbox. He does beautifully if he has something to carry. I will go with this option while out, and save my corrections with the prong collar on at home where I can make a difference without ruining a walk. (It is always nice to get advice that you wanted to hear!).
