We’ve recently introduced a furry animal, but we also had a problem with the fact that he tries to bite us when playing. And sometimes he even takes our shoes to his place and then starts to growl if we try to take them away. Perhaps someone had a similar situation? Will training with a professional dog handler help? I would be grateful for your answer and help in this matter.

It’s interesting to know that people don’t have to resort to pack mentality in order to train dogs. I’m planning to hire a certified dog training service soon because it’s hard to keep my dog off my couch and make her stay on her own bed. Hopefully the trainer would not make her overly submissive because I don’t want my dog to necessarily fear me.

Question – when training a puppy to be “handled” is it wrong to hold them in your arms against your body until they settle?

Is this considered force holding or force training ?

How do you train a puppy to get used to vets , groomers or other strangers holding or hugging them ?

My pit lab puppies I have 2 they listen, they have learned, and I treat them but as they are left in an environment where they have nothing to tear up but toys they find that furniture is way more fun and tear up those. I dont punish them as I need to is that the problem?

Our four month old lab collie cross is wonderful. Except in biting when excited or bored. I understand that I should give him one of his toys (which he drops to carry on biting) or to push him down with no comment or eye contact, again he will still try and bite. We try to play with him/train him/interact with him to stop him getting bored, but sometimes you just need him to sit for a minute without something in his mouth. I know he is still young, but when will we see just a little improvement? Are we doing something wrong?
