Now I understand that all puppies bite, but I don't want my dog to carry any bad habits into adulthood.
I've been following advice on this board and from Ian Dunbar's book which explains that I should "yelp" and either turn around, walk away, ignore him, etc. I've tried this and he doesn't really seem to care about it.
I've also had a friend who recommend holding his muzzle and saying "no bite!" This seems too aggressive, and against what seems to be the current trends in puppy training.
Am I doing anything wrong? Does he need more time to mature? I don't mind him soft biting when we play, but at the same time I don't want him nipping at strangers, clothes, etc.
Oh and he's a 12 week old "cavadoodle".
thanks
