That will help him to underst

Most people put a toy breed in a crate, or another room, or a playpen and all that is doing is ignoring the problem, and not solving the problem, and the dog knows it, so it will continue to act the same way because no one showed him that there is another way. Some dogs just can't figure t

Most aggressive dogs do bite more out of fear then anything else. Once they get over the fear, the biting usually stops. That is why I like Cesar's video.
