[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 181293, member: 179"] Here's my 2cents. (Used to train dogs.) He needs to be on a spiked choke collar. He's a big dog and needs a jolt. They bite when they get excited. It's not a mean jesture...it's playful. So here's what you do. Choke collar on. It will not hurt them, but get their attention. Take him for a walk. When you see the energy level rise, you give a sharp yank of the chain and immediately walk in the other direction. It redirects their attention. It doesn't take long for them to realize that being excited and biting gets them no attention. In the house if he bites, you immediately leave the room. Attention is everything to where he can't get to you. Close the door. It will take many attempts, but as soon as he realizes he doesn't get attention for that behavior he'll hopefully stop. Finally, when you come back in, give him some kind of chew toy. If he chews...reward him with a doggie treat. So, it's NO...leave the room, come back with a chew toy and reward. Over and over again. Hope it helps. Abbey [/QUOTE]
