Biting is becoming a real issue when bringing Bella back into the house from potty. She is so hyper to go play that getting her leash off without a bite is nearly impossible. And while I put gloves on, the point is not to be safe in the gloves, the point is to stop her biting.
When she is in the hyper corgi puppy zone, it’s bite bite bite when she is touched or picked up. She wants to go do what she wants to go do. Google says to get a cotton ball, I am going to use a rag a cotton ball might choke her, and soak it in bitter apple. Let her have the cloth to bite on and keep it in her mouth for a while so she hates the taste. This “primes“ her so to speak. Then soak your hands, using my gloves, in bitter apple and this will stop the biting.
Only if she hates the taste. I will pick up bitter apple today and give this a try. I tried the other method of putting my fingers all the way in her mouth, which just made her madder and bite more. I tried the method of touching the back of her mouth while she is biting down, nope.
I tried screaming when she bites nope. So, it’s got to be the bitter apple and if that doesn’t work they have other stronger stuff. The bitting must stop. She has also decided she doesn’t want her feet touched, most dogs don’t, and bites for that sooo. Bitter apple it is.
And instead of letting her play after going outside, it’s in the crate for a calmer puppy when she wakes up and a less frustrated human, but I still got to get that leash off her.
