Why are so many people commenting about how long he took to get to the point? He has amazing and extremely useful information, but his main point is that you CANNOT skip forming a bond with your dog! Maybe the problem is that you’re not willing to put in the effort to even watch a 5 minute video, much less form a lifetime bond with your dog. As hard as it is to hear, it really is quite often the owner and not the dog. I had to realize this myself before I was able to become a good leader (both with my animals and my kids!), but so many things changed when I did the necessary work on myself FIRST! Here’s to hoping this info develops good owners/leaders FIRST…and if you made it this far into my comment, good job! You’re already in the way to becoming an amazing leader!❤❤❤
Been following the advise for several days on my 3 month old Aussie, excellent results already.
This is great to hear!! Hope things continue to go well!
Mine 6mo and good around me and my sisters or nana but just not great when my moms around and I rlly need help on it 😊
Anyone else trying to watch this literally as their puppy is biting their hand? I’m like sitting here just waiting to get to the point already LOL
Ours is like a tiny velociraptor 😩😩😩
its my toes actually
He’s a bit long winded.
@@PhatOtterStudios update: he is now 1 year, 8 months And turned out to be a very sweet loving boy
@@juliecarnevali5534 I was referring to the length of the video. I have a limited data plan so short, sweet and get to the point is what I subscribe too.:)
Amazing results! Thank you! Used for one session and already she’s miles better
Thank you for addressing correction every says it’s cruel but it doesn’t cause them any harm
FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GET TO THE INFO IMMEDIATELY: 10:48 is when the info started.
Thank you, I was about to have a stroke!
@@kevingee4294 lol i hate when people talk forever and don't have timestamps. im more likely to click out of a video and go find somebody else if nobody else mentions it in the comments.
Such great information, ty for sharing.
This is clicking for me. Outstanding. Thank you.
I don’t have a dog, but I do have four kids…I’ve watched like 5 of these videos and I find them very insightful and helpful 😂🤷🏻♀️🥰
Thanks for the video
This is so helpful we have a 9 week old Aussie and he's just tearing up my 5 year old son. He's punctured my son's skin multiple times, my son plays a little rough with him and wrestling with him not hurting him at all but Bleu gets into this game on state when Jax begins to squeal and giggle and Bleu just escalates with every squeal I've practiced this today and I can see already it's definitely going to get us where we need to be with play time
So helpful!! Looking forward to implenting this when we get our Aussie pup this summer. We also have a 3 year old male Australian Shepard. Glad to see we did most things right!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful!
I'm 16 and just got my first aussie puppy and these videos are really helping me
THANK YOU!! This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you for the reassurance and the guidance to help train my three month old Aussie! 😁
You are so welcome, thanks so much for watching! Hope training is going well!!
How did it go?
Im new here and Ive actually been looking all over for a channel dadicated to aussies and I just wanted to let u know that I love your videos, they are very usefull, u give a lot of info and of course, to thank u for all the work!!
Thanks so much for watching Eliana! So good to hear your enjoying our channel and finding it helpful!
Thank you for all the help and encouraging training my two Australian Shepard, one is about 3 years and the other is just a pup at 3 months.
We also have a 3 year old male and plan to get another in the next 4 weeks. How are yours doing together?
Is your older one still biting?
amazing information
Just got a 7 week border Aussie ! I’m going try this thank you !!
Good luck!!
Loving listening to this accent
Excellent video 😁
I agree with giving them a lot of exercise, our pups were doing better when we were taking them out more, and then the Vet told us they are growing and not to and just let them be puppies. So, I feel we need to do what the pups need, but appreciate the info from the Vet.
I love how he clarified a dachshund as a "massive breed" lmfao
This is exactly what I have been looking for! Appreciate the information!
I’m definitely going to implement this strategy because I just got my 2.5 month old people a week ago and she is definitely bitting & nibbling on my ankles, hands and legs. She seems to feel like she’s in charge and I need to create the bond of me being the leader. I hope this works! 🤞🏽
We just got a freshly weened aussie/pitbull mix. been listening closely to what you say. its working fantastic after a month. thank you so much. you got my sub and likes
Hi James, thanks so much for watching and letting us know how training is going. It's great to hear things are going well, long may it continue!
Great!
Thank you that was very helpful. I'm a first time Australian shepherd owner and this channel is so helpful! I've only had Labradors and Shelties before this puppy. Aussie are smart as a whip, but mine is very stubborn. My puppy is very nippy and I was having a hard time with him and the biting. I'm going to put your advice into action right now! :)
how did that go?
I think they aren't the easiest dog breed. I have a about 2 year old Aussie that's about the coolest dog you will see, but man is she a lot do deal with. I don't think they are a good dog for most people. She is starting to get a little easier now that she's approaching 2 years old.
My Aussie eats anything and everything out side . Even when I play no with her 15 to 30 minutes 4 to 6 times a day.
How did it work out?
Oh man, I have a Aussie/ heeler mix that is very mouthy. I thought it was the heeler side but I guess Australian shepherds are mouthy too. She's almost a year old and much better but we really have to watch her. I was expecting ankle biting but, nope, she jumps and bites and has tried to tear up so much. Exercise helps but these dogs go, go, go. She sleeps well in her crate thankfully.
Thank you so much, that was very helpful. I’m hoping I can use this with my puppy when he dive bombs and play bites my other dogs. They have had it with him
Correct. You must act and make the verbal corrections instant and firm.
Anyone who gets an Australian Shepard MUST be committed to exercising and training the pup. They aim to please but are bread to heard larger animals. Please give your pup exercise!
Ok ,my wife gifted me my Aussie,and from my perspective ,he’s a 10 on the difficult scale ,so I’m glad I found this channel,I love him and want to do this right but atm I’m failing him ,so I will dedicate more time with the help of this channel. 🙏
Sounds like you're wanting to do all you can to help your dog be the best they can be! Glad you're finding our channel helpful and thanks for watching 😊 Don't forget that we do offer training course too over on our website you might be interested in looking into to.

When I had my dog few years back, I redirected her puppy biting to a toy. I mean either way it's a process and it took a bit of time but it does work. Just like you say :). I was a first time owner.
Also a vet will never say not to exercise your dog, so if people are saying that to you or any other trainer, they misunderstood the vet's instructions. My vet told me my pup was extremely healthy and muscular which is not something common in new owners. I was pretty proud of that. All she told me was, do not climb stairs or anything where the dog has to climb much while they're still growing. That is all, and then of course switch from puppy feed to something that supports bones and joints.
So exercise your pups all you want, but of course if they have a condition, the vet will tell you what to avoid at start. (This is and never will be a forever thing.)
I'd personally say if your vet says not to exercise them, find a better vet, but that's just me 😂.
Hey Sofie, thanks for watching and sharing your experience and knowledge!
Thank you for this video. Ringo is almost 7 months old and likes to bite and jump on everyone due to him being excited. He’s super sweet, but we are going to try your tips, since he’s plenty old enough to know better and we are getting another Aussie end of April and we want the new puppy “Lennon” to learn his brothers good behavior.
thank you.
You are so welcome!
omg thank you
Amazing good video about how to stop the bitting and snapping! Thank you so much! Our pup is already learning not to because of it!^^ 🙏 #Greatfull
Thank you for the information, My arms are in terrible shape.
Im in love with all of this. YOU guy rock
Thanks so much William!!
Thank you for your video .First time Australia shepherd owner and very excited to train her properly and your videos are very helpful.
I love your theory about exercising a puppy. If I would have not broken that rule with my aussies, they would have ended up with serious behaviour problems. The choice was obvious.
I works, while my dog was chewing her toy..the " eh ehh!" on the video made her stop and look up :),.. no more videos for her or she will be confused!
Hi there, I'm having trouble fully understanding the concept of restructuring the relationship. I've watched the video a few times but can you give a couple examples on how to restructure the relationship?
98% marketing 2% advise.
Everything you are saying it’s really helpful thank you. But it will be better I think if you could demonstrate with a dog in your videos
Hey Alan, thanks for watching! For more live demonstrations we have a dedicated training channel you might find helpful: ua-cam.com/channels/6z0E8nSfCvelwA3bon_phg.html
Thank you! But I would like to see a video about how to stop a four-year old rescue from nipping. I'm guessing this is why she ended up in a shelter to begin with. She has all the classics of an Aussie.... Barking, jumping, nipping, pulling, agrression towards other dogs, etc. We are one year in and she is much better, but cannot trust she will not nip. We'd like to be able to take her out with us when we do errands. We adore her, but she certainly is a bit of work! She gets walked two miles per day, and she's with us forever.
Thank you for this video. My boss has a herding dog that bites my ankle, it doesn’t hurt, it’s more of a shock and I freak out and get really angry at the dog and then we have kind of a stand off. The dog just wants my attention cause I sometimes throw it a ball or give it a lot of love and I think it really likes me, but when I’m trying to do my job and the dog comes up and bites my ankle from behind I lose my fkn mind and go psycho on it verbally. Then my boss always blames me for provoking the dog (but I’m always bitten from behind and minding my own business when it happens, just trying to do my job) My boss wants to discipline me instead of the dog so this is great ammo. The boss is not exercising their young dog enough or providing it with something appropriate to bite, so it bites the people who aren’t giving it attention who are just trying to do their job. I have never owned a dog in my 40 years of life and I don’t think it’s fair to blame me for not knowing how to interact with a dog, let alone one that bites your leg or “arse” when you’re just trying to do your job and not paying attention to it. Im not prepared to get bitten by someone else’s dog because I’m not paying attention to it when I’m being paid to not pay attention to it.
Is it a very common problem for this breed? Is it depends on the dog's temperament? Ausies are very active, not as my lazy sleepy lab/chao one which I have (does become active when hungry and when we go outside).
I have found my herd :)! I'm a full year to a year and a half out from getting an Aussie or mini. I
I just discovered your videoes, and I'm really interested in the whole respecting the leader aspect. But then I'm left wondering, I know the dogs I occasionally care for respect me, but how do you teach a dog to do as told by someone else taking care of it while you aren't there? For many reasons I would argue that it is so so important for the dog to respect commands from other people besides "the leader" too, and I was just wondering how you would recommend implementing that?
Is there a way you can add subtitles/captions that aren't the autocaptions? This isn't accessible for those who are deaf/hard of hearing.
I got my half Australian Shepherd and half Blue Heeler. She is 7 weeks old now. I am so happy and looking forward to training her to be the best she can be.
Her name is Sakari.
Means lovely .
yikes, she is going to be a handful.
@@jeffk464 she is doing good! A little chewing on stuff in the yard bit we r getting there !!!
How is she doing now?
I have a 10 week aussie shepherd. Do you recommend to tug him off your ankles ? Mine goes for the ankle and feet and jump up. Sometimes he goes for the other toy but always goes back at it
I just got an Aussie. She is 1 1/2 months old. She is so bad with biting. Very frustrating. We live out in the country, but it’s been snowing recently. Haven’t taken her outside. Thank you so much. She definitely could use more exercise.
Thanks for watching Rowan, it's great to hear you've found our video helpful!
Use a treadmill
Where do you get the videos
Hi, i have about a year old mini Aussie shepard , she tends to bite anyone who she doesn’t know and feels is a threat to our family . Can I tend to use these ways on her we just want her to be more friendly as she was when she was younger
Mine got over it but still playbites once in a while like she remembers the joy she had chewing away on my shoes lmao
So are you talking about teething as well ive had puppies chew on my hand but never looked at it as a bite
Hello, this is my first Aussie. He's almost 3 months old. He is doing the puppy biting and I will start him on these corrections that you mentioned on this video however my question is the following: Should I only teach him 1 thing at a time? I have a son who is on the spectrum and he has just started liking dogs however its hard for my son to play or pet him because the puppy is constantly nibbling/biting. Its not an aggressive bite but non the less very annoying. If you could please guide me as to what you think is best that would be very helpful. I'm just scared of overwhelming the puppy with so many commands at once. Thanking you in advance
So is mouthing bad? My puppy does this a lot but he doesn't bite. Not sure if I should correct him or not as it doesn't bother me terribly. He does bite/chew other things and we correct him. Not sure about the mouthing though.
Is biting and mouthing the same in as far as this training...sometimes my Aussie mouths but then gets more and more aggressive to the point of biting
Merle aussie with anxiety and aggression being returned by adopter. Is there anywhere or any rescue that can take her or help ?? She is located in PA in the USA.
My puppy has recently started biting HARRRD. I go to look for this video by clicking on what I thought was a random video in my feed but it’s just the video I’ve been looking for. Read my mind!
Rather wordy, but spot on. Me, well, when someone comes over that my Aussie doesn't know, I tell her their name and I tell them her name and I tell them to call her name and say hi. That works with everyone except for the UPS guys.. all that brown... she ain't havin' it.... except for the one guy that was breaking company rules and gave her a milkbone, she liked him, even if he was very brown...
what if the verbal correction just provokes more growling and aggression?
I have a dog which refuses to stop biting. He is a very intelligent husky lab cross with a very dominant personality. I have been doing what you say for nearly 2 months with zero success. He is not my first puppy, but he is the first one to be so persistent and aggressive with his biting. Help! When I say aggressive I mean his manner although there is no snarling or viciousness about him.
Thank you for this! I needed help with my Australian Shepherd. She's 4 months, and nips at myself and my son. I hope this will help.
My 2 year old aussie has just now started biting. She picks out a person and as soon as they turn their back she approaches them from behind and bites their leg. do you have any videos regarding this?
Hey another question, my aussie is smaller than expected pretty decently, he's 9 months old and 40lbs, his dad was 62, any more room for growth or is he done?
They’ll do most of the vertical growth by one year, then fill out for the next 6 months. We have 2 minis. The older one stopped growing and getting more girthy at about a year and half, the other one is almost a year old and still growing. Our fully grown mini is 38lbs, so not very mini at all. Your dog will probably be near 50 lbs is my guess. At 9 months, there is still growth to be done.
Our red tri was abt that wgt at that age, over a year now and she grew a little then filled out as commenter above said.
My 1-year-old Ausy drew blood on my daughters hand the first time. He tries to Hurd, and he does not like us hugging , playing around, or waving hands. He is not aggressive. He just tries to stop the action with his mouth. I need help learning how to stop this instinct in my dog.
The best part of an Aussie is the are "Velcro" dogs. What ever you do, they do it too.. But hat means you need to get up and exercise and then they exercise. Dog food, and vet trips are about the same price as a gym membership. The fringe benefits beyond exercise are priceless. How much does a security system cost, You can figure that into the benefits of an Aussie as well.
me looks down at my dog casually biting my foot- ok actually stop this has been going on for a year
Which program has the in depth info about this correction?
I have an Aussie pup and positive reinforcement alone hasn’t worked - and she gets pretty aggressive sometimes, and of course we want to correct this behavior. Thanks.
Hey Jean, thanks for watching! How old if your pup? If she's over 6months it's work looking at our Boot Camp Course, you can find out more details on our website: www.fenrircanineleaders.co.uk/collections/training
@@willathertonaustralianshep8549 she’s 2 months old! She gets aggressive from time to time with us (yesterday she actually cut my arm with a bite). We are struggling balancing the play aspect (we play with her about 2-3 hrs per day) and being able to correct with positive reinforcement. Thanks so much!
I wanted to follow up on my comment. She is 2 and a half months old. Thanks!!!
@@jeangarnier1898 I might be worth looking at our Perfect Puppy Course, it sounds like she might not be respecting your leadership and given her age some more structured training might help your relationship 😊
Hey guys I have a 4 1/2 year old Australian Shepherd at he’s well trained and full of energy. He doesn’t bite other people he just nips at other dogs playfully but it bothers the other dogs is there any way I can stop that??
Yeah! Please get to the point. I skipped lots,
+1
My coworker jokingly suggested covering myself in that bitter stuff lol.
Can we get the five minute version of this?
no, he needs to drag out everything and repeat himself multiple times and add filler.
if you don't have time to watch a 16 minute video on how to train your dog, you probably shouldn't have a dog Chuck.
@@jdaileycomedy You must not of watch the video? The first 11 minutes was just rambling about who knows what. But thanks for your comment.
This is awesome. But, my 8 week old Aussie is doing most of her biting while we are walking and is going hard at our ankles. She has responded well to having her sit frequently as we walk but pretty quickly goes back to biting the ankles. She isn’t responding great to the correction - almost comes back harder. So I’m thinking you’ll say work on the relationship - I’m trying! And she’s getting TONS of exercise. She really is wonderful.
Try not to give her too much exercise at the moment because she may get over-tired. I hope you and your Aussie are doing well
how’d it go?
I love watching your videos you know your stuff! We are dealing w our 5 year old (very hyper) son, and he plays rough and our mini Aussie (4 months) chases him and bites all the time. Playful but we’re afraid she’s not going to stop. We walk and jog multiple times a day. We are having problems getting her to stop biting everyone now all the time. Any suggestions?
My puppy is 7.5 weeks. when it nips my hand I scream like a woman. It works.
🤣🤣🤣
What's actually funny is my Australian Shepherd reacts better when my girlfriend screams at him...when I get mad at him he becomes defensive and wants to basically fight me over the issue lol
@@-Always_Right- sounds like he’s trying to display dominance. He can smell your girlfriends pheromones so he’s more behaved for her. I’m having the same issue with my 8 week old, might be buying his perfect puppy course to help me get on a good schedule with my guy.
Jeez! Stopped at 8:30 with all the f'n talk in circles word salad. My Aussie bit as a pup, which meant the hands. When it happens, push your thumb deep into the mouth and gently push the tongue down while firmly holding the lower jaw with the rest of your hand. Don't hurt the dog at all, but be in control. You'll see it suddenly appear in the dog's eyes after a few seconds, wanting to let go and retreat, but you not letting it happen for a couple seconds more just to drill the point into the canine brain, basically commanding that you are the pack leader and this behavior is not allowed. Takes a few times to permanently set, no more biting. Have done this with several puppies, even an obstinate Yorkie who now treats me as her pack leader whenever I visit, so happy to see me. Don't bother with the 'cruelty' comments, I'm not, you just need to think exactly like a dog, they are not humans and this is how they think.
how do you restructure your relationship?

Mine is still a pup and nippy with children. Not aggressively, it's more like she views them as cattle to be herded. She doesn't hurt anyone, but still obviously needs dealing with
The same issue with my puppy with my son
11:04 for what your looking for.
My pup just won’t stop nippinga be biting it’s 12weeks old 🤣 and I commented this without watching vid yet
What about when they keep biting my other dog.?
How do you restructure the relationship? In 8 WK old puppy?
Thanks for watching! Given the age of your puppy it might be worth checking out our free principles of the perfect puppy course, this will help you understand the best way to structure you relationship from the very start: leader.fenrircanineleaders.co.uk/ppp1624230184001
Mine doesn’t really bite he nips if I play with him or if Im being affectionate his first instinct is to put his mouth around my hand. He doesn’t bare down, but the teeth still hurt.
I’m gonna try this she’s been biting for a will and just turned one and I want her to stop it’s annoying and hurts really bad
I just watched this and it's about puppy biting. He mentioned that he does interventions on dogs that are on "death row" and he goes into a "bootcamp". My 50-year-old dog isn't a "death row" dog, but she nips at everyone's heels and hands that enters my house, or comes on my property. It is frustrating because we have to kennel her whenever we have people over. And it's always felt like it's a herding instinct and can't be trained out of her. Sounds like that might not be true. Are there classes I can take?
Hey Tim, thanks for watching! We've got a number of online course you are able to do from the comfort of your own house. You can find out more details over on our website: www.fenrircanineleaders.com
mini aussie is almost 11 weeks and he is a chewer.. i redirect with a toy if he gets my fingers or anything he shouldn't chew on. I heard if they get ur fingers you should say ouch really loud.. no i have never done it...i think it would scare the hell out of my other dogs and since 1 is protection trained.. not a good idea in my house lol i really think he is starting to think his name is no. lol
I walked my 10 week aussie pup like 2 miles he was cranky and so nippy
10-week puppies shouldn't be walking that far yet, based on what I've read (12-week here). Give it a google and work up to it!
Fenir I have a three-year-old Australian Shepherd. She is very friendly and a very good dog in public however when we are at home he displays protective and aggressive behaviors towards some of my male friends but not all of them. He loves children and women and never is aggressive but playful with them. Like I said it is only aggressive behavior towards some of my male friends that he feels uncomfortable with. Why do you think he is like this and how can I help him? He has not always been like this and I feel as if it is getting a little worse
He***
The only thing I would say that the male friends have in common is that they are not really dog people or show any attention to my Aussie even when he is not being aggressive or playful but just curious.
Thanks for watching Tony! We have a video on one of our other channels looking at dog aggression: ua-cam.com/video/O9uzeqJ5Hhg/v-deo.html
My 4 year old Aussie Shepard is also great with people away from home but has attacked some friends (mostly kids) inside or around our home after meeting them, playing outside with them and being around them with a muzzle on. We think she’s being overprotective and even after a proper introduction and days of correcting her aggression to the guest, she’s randomly bit their leg after things were fine. I’ve worked very hard with her but feel we can never trust her. Not sure what triggers her to bite?
I try to do that with my Aussie, but she doesn't give a sh** :(( She is out of control and I can't make her to calm down and respond to my reaction. What can I do??? Thanks
Not a comment but a question my fiance and I adopted a 5 year old Australian Shepherd 7 months ago sweet dog sweet as can be but he gets super excited and it's sometimes growls at people when he sees somebody new and he's bitten twice I don't know kind of life he had before we got him but this behavior is unacceptable and it needs to change any ideas I'm all ears. My thanks
I do not have a puppy. Seems this is all your video is covering. I'm half way in and am not learning anything about full grown Aussie dogs or Aussie mixes. I have a rescue mix that's Aussie/Corgi that likes to sneak up behind people and nip them on the lower leg. I hate it, it's dangerous, and it makes me a pariah among my own family because they are afraid to have us in their home. He doesn't growl or bark or in any way appear to be threatened, but he casually goes up behind the person and nips them. What should I do about this?
I have an 11 week old Aussie and he’s started nipping at people’s heels, feet and knees a lot recently. He doesn’t do it much to me but he actively goes after my girlfriend. I try the collar method to teach him that behavior isn’t good he tends to just get more ramped up. Does anyone have any advice?
I really love dogs lived with dogs my whole life and I Have been dying to get my own adorable Aussie, but I live in a moderate sized apartment. I'm worried that I wont have enough space for an Aussie to really feel comfortable, I live next to a huge park, beach, water front trail, and a Zoo. That being said my friends and family are spilt 50/50 with some family members being super supportive believing it would be beneficial, and then I have friends and family members that trying to push me away for this decision. I've been debating about rescuing an Aussie any help or direction would be appreciated.
I have a 6 1/2 old mini Aussie and is super laid back dog, doesn't even like to play catch. I also have a 6 month old aussie/German shepherd mix and she is super hyper, total opposite.
this is a bit late, but i live in a small/med size condo and my aussie pup is happy as a clam. that being said, we utilize the beach, dog parks, and tennis courts a lot for him to run
Givin a8 month old AKC , PUPPY Returned to breeder , and he has bitting , jumpin up ! And not comin when calld
I just can't do the Australian accents for an American dog. It's 2021 I pray for the people of Australia
Looking for a bit of advise here. We are a few days in with our 8 week old Aussie and he's absolutely amazing. but as a puppy he is a bit bitty and he likes to chase my daughter around who's only 2 years old and he bites and the bottom of her legs while she runs and sometimes even tires to nibble at her hair while they play. Could definitely use some advise on how to attack that situation, would anyone help with some?
I’m in the same position. My 8-week old Aussie is doing well with potty training (mostly), crate training and routine. However, the nipping is tearing up my arms. I have tried being stern and saying “No!”, but it just seems to rile him up more. Some temporary success with once he bites, I calmly pick him up and he gets a “time out” for a minute or two in his crate. Once he’s calm, I give him a “Good boy” and he is let out. If he does it again, same routine.
@@andyshaw5492 One of the main things I have see is to never use a crate as a punishment so I have ruled that one out as a way to get him to stop.
@@truepiston This is true. It’s not a “punishment” per say. I calmly take him there. Put him in for a minute or two until he settles. Then I calming let him out. Just to say, “you nip, play time stops”. He is still going in well for naps and bedtime.
We have almost the exact same problem - 9 week old Aussie, 3 year old daughter. We have the same exact problem, pup always bites at feet then will jump and bite higher. Definitely goes after her hair a lot too. We've been trying to divert attention by basically putting toys right in the puppies face (like "bite this instead!"). I think the problem with that is it seems like now we've inadvertently trained our dog to attack our child if she wants to play. FML. We need help too
Same problem!! Our Aussie is 3 months old and he has learned his commands so well. He is kennel trained and so smart. But the biting is giving me anxiety. Like I know he’s a puppy but sometimes he bits my 3 and 5 year olds ankles when they are running and playing and it hurts and I have no idea how to handle it. I don’t want to make it worse. But I can’t keep having it either!! He bit me pretty hard the other day when I made him stop. Sometimes he growls too and I don’t understand why. We need help! I want him to be a good companion for them too but I feel lost with the biting!!
