[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 181284, member: 77"] My oldest daughter Debbie has six children. She has just taken on a puppy (called "X") from my son, a bachelor who is hardly at home and therefore can't raise the puppy that he received as a gift. It is a beautiful dog, a golden retriever, pedigree. It is champagne colored. Gorgeous. Until he bites! The veterinarian told Debbie that he, too, has a golden retriever, and the biting will probably go on until the age of about 9 months. It bit Debbie in her thigh and she had to have an anti-tetanus injection. Of course, one of her twin sons (aged 16) is supposed to be in charge of this dog, it is supposed to be his, but of course guess who is doing just everything for the dog -- Debbie, of course. Anyway, I wondered if any of you have any suggestions of what to do about this biting, how to train the dog to stop it NOW. He has loads of toys to play with, and he gets taken out for walks. I know he is a puppy and is being playful, but if anyone has any concrete suggestion just how to train him not to bite, I would be most grateful. If not, I am going to strongly suggest to Debbie to get rid of the dog. She has enough to cope with in her life. Thank you, Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
