5 month old Cockapoo

by Sheila
(UK)

I have a cockatoo puppy who appears to enjoy lunging at me and biting... not nipping but hard biting!! I have tried everything I can think of but nothing works, not distraction, not going in the sin bin.. nothing and I have all the wounds to show for it.
It's getting to the point now that I don't know how to handle this problem and any advice would be so appreciated.

Nothing In Life Is Free
by: Adam G. Katz

Employ the "Nothing In Life Is Free" approach, so that your dog starts to view you as the "pack leader." If your dog doesn't see you as the leader, then your corrections will be meaningless. So, if you're doing subtle things (inadvertently) to undermine your leadership role around the house-- it will be counter-productive.



All the best,
Adam
