Right, but the times I'm thinking of especially, are the nights where I have classes. I leave my house around 4:30 and don't get home till around 10:30. At that point, I get settled and go to bed, because I have to get up at 6:30. When I finish school next month, I plan on getting a job in the evenings. If I leave him in his crate all that time, he'll be in there for 14 hours!
It is not puppy "mouthing", but not so viscous that there were large amounts of bloodshed. He has broken the skin on hubby 3 times. It is the intensity which with he comes at them that is scary.
Sounds to me like alot of inconsistencies with everything, from the different corrections for biting, to the running in the backyard freely off leash, to the training of all those basic commands too soon. Sounds like you are leaping instead of taking baby steps.
I'm confused, I can only imagine how the dog feels. He needs clear communication and consistancy, not 5 different types of correction for his misbehavior.
Correcting playbiting/mouthing vs. aggressive biting in my book are two different things. You need to look at the dogs body language while he is biting so you can determine if it is aggression or downright bratty behavior.
Kelly,
I'm still having a hard time tying this all together. Sorry if this is a redundent question for you, but how old is this dog? How long have you had this dog? What kind of training has been done thus far? Has the rest of the family taken part in whatever the training has been done? Has the rest of the family actually been on board in the training, or have they been undermining you when you're not around?
He is almost 7 months old.
We have had him since he was 13 weeks.
We took him to PetSmart for "training", but we did it more for socialization. They used a clicker. We all went to that.
We then had a trainer come to our home because of how he was "firmly mouthing" and skittishness at that point. She said he was displaying dominant behaviors, but that didn't mean he was aggressive at that point. She also said he wasn't very confident outside of the house.She suggested lots of practice with leave its and drop its, which he does wonderful during training sessions. Not always so great otherwise. Yes, everyone else has been on board, but I am home the most with him, so I do the most. Daughter does still tend to yell "Hey" in a high pitched voice, but she is getting better.
