I know that I need him to respect me and I have not been dealing with it correctly. I have read Ed's articles about dominance and I have started to make some changes in our household. Will let you know... Agneta Cohen

Hitting the dog on top of the head or any other physical approach can escalate the violence rather than decrease it. Of course that depends on where he is on the dominance scale right now. For two weeks I'd go back to hand feeding ONLY and yielding. Those will help to reestablish you as the dominant animal. A discussion on yielding can be found a couple of screens down at http://leerburg.server294.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=147;t=000388 There the conversation started with the alpha roll which I don't suggest you ever try.

About the last thing I'd do with that tool is to give the dog a high level stim when he's biting or headed for the bite. That MAY stop it but more likely it could result in you headed for the ER.
