I really wanted a pup, but I found I'd bought an alligator. He could not be touched, he had a ferocious temper, he bit hard and fast. Do what these people say, have patience, be a leader, and give him time outs in the crate when he is over-excited and you are loosing your temper. My dog NOW is the best dog I ever owned, hands down. IT WILL GET BETTER!!!! http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

Everyone knows you replied to be helpful. Misspeak and some one will mention it ... in a mild way, just as happened.

Sheila Buckley Webboard User Reg: 07-14-2007 Posts: 1243 Loc: Offline	Roger, I too alerted to the fear biter comment even though I was following the gist of your post. But someone else could take that and run with it in a really bad direction...  Quote: roger robinson guess working with Navy dogs tought me nothing, or being raised with Marine Corps dogs ment nothing, or my brother working Air Force dogs and sharing that means nothing, or Sheba my retired SAR dog means nothing. Or working police k9 with my brother who was a cop after being an air force cop means nothing It looks like you have some experience with mostly young adult to adult aged dogs but not a heck of a lot of puppy experience. They are two different things. Say, as to compare interacting with and interpreting the behaviors, motivations and actions of a toddler with those of a young child of 8 or 9 years old. Sorry Robbin to highjack your post.

But I'd be concerned about any technique that would make the dog distrustful of the owner putting hands in the dog's mouth. It's important IMO for the dog to allow you to put your hands in his mouth for administering pills, brushing teeth, retrieving a foreign objects, etc. I think bitter spray is best used when it can be sprayed on an object to make it unappealing to chew on--a door frame, table leg, or bandage. Then the dog associates the negative with the forbidden object--not you. Cinco | Jack | Fanny | Ellie | Chip | Deacon
