Ear Biter

We've had Biscuit, now, for two weeks. As he has settled more comfortably in his new home, and with all of us, he has become much more playful. Sometimes there's a bit of aggressiveness added to his playfulness, though, and he bites....Hard!






He also loves biting and hanging onto our heels or toes as we walk! He tried to bite Ella's tushy while she was walking, a few days ago, but ended up with a mouth full of dress, instead, and hung by it as she tried to run away from him. Wish I would have had my camera for that one!

I've never owned a puppy. This is a slightly new experience for me, but I believe that this is typical for a puppy. However, it can't continue. Splitting Ella's ear open was enough! Does any of my dog owner friends have any advice (aside from beating him...mama doesn't do that!) to help me get him to quit biting?

I try holding him to my chest and I speak gently to him, while rubbing his back to calm him. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't.

I know it's hard to believe, after seeing the pictures and reading this, but he's a really great puppy! He sleeps like any other baby. He loves being held and loved on. AND he is actually gentle and sweet...most of the time. When he does get hyper, it doesn't last very long. Just a few minutes...those few minutes can hurt, though!

Any advice is appreciated!

Relishing in His goodness...
