Casso 1,261 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 is he in the house 24/7, does he have an energy outlet, not sure how your dogs giving him spanking is going to turn him into a saint, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LaraCroft 863 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 It may do - but if he then goes back into the same set of circumstances that caused it in the first place - he may start doing it again. If he is getting dominant over food, or toys, or sitting on a chair - and then getting aggressive when people come towards him, then he needs to learn his place, and the people living with him need to understand how to keep him lower in the pecking order too. Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 bit all the family members,and you asking what to do?id have thought that would have been obvious mate.and no im not trying to be a smart arse. my current dog is pretty unsociable towards other dogs (my fault to a certain degree,i tend to keep my dogs away from other dogs) but he does have a deep seated hatred of other dogs.he is ok with folk coming in the house but barks and growls at strarngers who approach him.its not a prob for me,as i live alone and he is never off lead in built up busy areas.however if he had bitten 3 people he lived with, well me personally he would pts after the first one possibly,defo after the second one. edited to say.i should rephrase that if he bit "anyone" .well he would get a reprieve if it was a member of the tribes lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hutch6 550 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 It's a pup and all pups have teeth for is biting. They learn bit einhibition through chomping on litter mates. Pup bites, other pup squeals, pup learns hwo much pressure to exert to cause pain. Pup get's bit understands how it feels when they bite other pups who make the same nouise when they chomp on them. Simple. If you family have been allowing the pup to bite and mouth because it's cute etc then all they have to do is anytime the3 pup starts to get a bit mouthy is to shout "No!" and walk away which stops all interaction with the dog. The pup does not bite for "no reason" it has reason to bite be it natural play without being taught the boundaries or it is a last resort reaction to something that is happening in its environment, there will have been plenty of warning but the warnings were not heeded to. Your dogs won't do a great deal for teaching bite inhibition as their skin, fur etc is tougher than ours so they won't be able to teach it bite inhibition. Plus dogs love a good bitey-bitey play time. Have you family got a routine for the dog so they are all singing from the same hymn sheet or is it all higgledy-piggledy with house rules etc?
