If he is that bad, were he constantly bites you then it sounds like you may need an in home trainer, if you don't know how to do it. Most of the times it is not the dog that is untrained, but the owner. I prefer the reward and ignore training, but that depends on the dog. If he is really bad at ag

I agree, everything has to be done the instant it happens or when you see it building. In my experience, if you use a correction that is tough enough to fit the "crime" you may only need to do it once or twice to get your point across. My female Dane decided she NEVER wanted to bite me again! B

You'll need PROBABLY to figure out some punishment that you can levy immediately, so that your little sweetheart figures out exactly what he or she is in trouble for.  But check medical first.  (with a muzzle, lol?) Judy From: Diane Praides To: Chihuahuas@ya

Could be typical bossy foul tempered chi. Start with test for Lyme disease and thyroid function.  Maybe get the canines pulled.  Maybe beat it's little butt when it DOES bite and you don't quit until it does.   (I know that sounds mean)  I  suspect it just got away with it one time too many. Y
