My family just adopted a dog thats approximately 1 year old possibly boxer/husky mix and have been working on training and he's done very very well so far with things we are trying to teach. However he gets rather mouthie/bitey and would like any tips anyone might have to help train him to stop...

So, I have always been fascinated by mouthing behaviour in dogs and why they do it. Obviously, 'mouthing' is different from 'biting' in the sense that their intentions are completely different (though I can't tell you how many clients have panicked and messaged me saying their dog is biting and...

Just a little info- we have two adults and 7 kids ranging from 3-almost 14. I read about bite inhibition and thought it sounded great. I explained it to my husband and the 10+ aged kids, and we all agreed it made sense. But we're coming across some obvious:doh: problems. 1. Dh has calloused...

Hi! About a week ago we adopted a basset hound/german shepherd mix. We got him from the shelter, he had come in as a stray. He is about 2 and neutered. Most of the time he is a real sweetheart. He is taking well to potty training. However, he likes to jump and play and mouth while we are...

Hi, everyone I desperately need some training help with my puppy. My husband and I adopted a German Shepherd/Lab/Husky/We-don't-know-what in December when he was about two months old. He is now five months-old and neutered. He is our first puppy, but not our first dog. We live in the Canadian...

Hi and greetings from Ghana. I am an American in Ghana. I recently... as in yesterday... rescued a puppy who had been snatched from its mother to be sold, most likely for food... They told me the puppy was 3 weeks old which worries me greatly as I know I will have to put extra work in to make...

A couple of weeks ago I adopted a eight month (what I believe it is) Sheltie mix. I quickly learned that he has a bit of a mouthing problem. I have two toddlers running around the house and would linked this to stop. He stops when we tell him no, but then he gets frustrated and rolls around on...

My dog is extremely sociable 1 year old, loves people, loves other animals, and follows me every step of the way. He listens well, and is very confident. This kind of ties in with the speculation I have about his interesting behavior. When I call him up onto the bed (He's only allowed with...
