the lady on oprah was named Tamar i think, the book is "the loved dog"

thanks this is good. i have ben doing eh eh eh eh really loud and most of the time he stops and looks at me....but sometimse that doesn't even faze him. i will do the leash thing. i will also wear a pouch of treats on me at all times. we haven't been holding his mouth closed for awhile now...

ok i have id'd the behaviors that are hard to deal with. when he gets excited esp in the morning when we first go see him, ALL he does if left to himself is chase after my daughter and grab her clothes and pull on them. She kind of tries to keep him at arms length and says STOP! NO, STOP! but...

no it turns out hte one on oprah was a woman.

let me also ask you this. he is showing very little interest in the kibbles we got him. we got him that no corn/wheat food by dick van patten. we also put wet food on it and he really does not devour it! I ptu in hot water and ieven some chicken buillion, and he licks up the liquid and leaves...

wow thank you! I will read this over again. My friend taped for me the episode of Oprah which had the dog trainer on it, recently. do you know this trainer? I gues he has his own show on one of hte channels too! it's hard to say....he bites when he plays. a couple tims a day he has a really...

well you can't tell me that you guys, when you have your puppies out in the house, are 100% focused on what he is doing and aren't walking around doing chores or working or cleaning or typing on the computer or SOMETHING. I mean it's like does he hav to be constrained EXCEPT when you are...

so if his mouth is around my foot or my daughter's arm, we should use "leave it?" when he is at his most playful his mouth has to be REMOVED from things. It seems wierd not to put a command along with this. then sometimes he still runs around grabbing at us with his mouth. steph

oh i know that.....i was just wondering if stubbornness NOW was a good predictor of personality LATER. So you guys are suggesting NOT to use NO? I mean really what diff does it make which words you use...I could say HOUSEPLANT when he is biting if i wanted to and if i'm consistent he woudl...

Thanks so much everyone! I remembered the tooth in mouth thing fro ages ago but i will do whatever works! i don't want to hurt him...the holding his mouth shut thing didn't seem like it would be painful, just .... inconvienient. but he doesn't like it at all. If part of training is to say NO...

I just got a 7 week old GR puppy. He's great and fun, and we are doing well at night, he's not crated but confined in an area. No whining the past couple nights. In all respects he seems a normal puppy, but.... He seems stubborn with regards to stopping biting when we say "no biting!" during...
