This dog is pretty neat when he is laying down but other than that he is a pain in the arse.
He has torn about 4 or 5 holes in my PJ'S so far and likes to chew on my skin,Bite my legs and every thing else.
They say no you are not suposta smack him.So what am I suposta do walk around and yell no! No! No! The whole time.
Our nabors are going to think I am going wacko.I have been telling him no and jamming his chew toy's in his mouth and most of the time it works only for a minute and then it is back to my clothes and every thing else.
I have a pretty loud and deep voice and I guess I am just going to have to try and see how good it works And not give a crap about sounding wacked out.
Any one have any tip's for me?

Love him, have patience and take him to obedience classes! I have a six month old husky/shepherd cross. We also went through a phase with him during which he nipped all the time. To correct this we would tell him NO! then back away from him and ignore him for thirty seconds. The next thing we did was to teach him the OFF command. To do this I would hold a treat in my hand and let him smell it. I would tell him off until he backed away from my hand just a little bit and then I would give him the treat. As he got better at this trick I would make him sit further back from my hand. You might want to wear gloves while doing this because he might nip at your fingers until he learns. It didn't take too long for him to get the hang of it! Now when he gets "nippy" I just tell him off and he sits back. In the meantime, to help keep an eye on him we have set up baby gates in our living room. This keeps him from wandering down the hall into the other rooms looking for trouble! It was also necessary as he chased the cats all over the house. The rooms that are "safe" rooms for him now contain nothing that he isn't allowed to chew on or play with. He finally has his adult teeth now and he doesn't nip any more. I hope that this helps! Remember, the more attention you give him now, the better doggy he'll be in the future. :D

1. Buy a crate for when you are out, he is contained.

2. Walk him to blow off steams.

3. Take classes, and train him.

4. Research the breed of dog you have to find out his needs.

4. Do not smack him. You are defeating the propose by beating him you want him to reseact you, not fear you.

Start here PETEDUCATION.COM it is a wonderful site when things are not going your way.

(O:

Lower your voice. Yelling only excites him more. He will still hear it, but the neighbors won't. Besides, it will be easier on you, because there is no quick, easy way to do this. You are fighting his instincts.

Young Labs, which I know best, and other puppies tend to very bad about
Biting. You see a litter of them, and all the ones that are awake are biting
Another one or themselves. I am not even sure they realize that when they are
Alone, if they quit biting, they would quit being bitten. At 3 to 4 months
They are getting their adult teeth, and it seems they spend every waking
Moment biting or chewing. I maintain a Lab's favorite chew toy is another
Lab. Otherwise they settle for any person they can. They keep hoping to find
One that won't yelp and jerk their hand away, or growl "Bad dog." and clamp
Their mouth shut. Then offer a chew toy. They keep trying despite hundreds
Of corrections. Another good technique is to quit playing and go away. Be
Sure to praise them when they are playing nice and not biting.

You just have to keep on correcting them, hundreds of times, not dozens.
Provide sturdy, safe toys such as Kongs and Nylabones. Avoid things they can
Chew pieces off and choke on them. Keep them away from electrical cords.
Crates are essential for most young Labs and other dogs.

The pet stores are full of toys that many dogs will quickly chew up into
Pieces they could choke on or cause intestinal blockages. If you are not
There to watch, stick to sturdy stuff such as Nylabones and Kongs. Keep a
Close eye on chew toys and quickly discard anything that is coming apart in
Pieces. Rawhide is especially bad because it swells after being swallowed.
These problems are the worst with, but not limited to, large, aggressive
Chewers such as Labs.
