New member of the family
August 1st, 2005
I wanted to introduce you guys to a new member of the family. Her name is Coco and she is a Belgium Malinois. She was a wedding gift from my brother in law.
If someone is familiar with dogs, please explain to me how I can stop her from biting EVERYTHING????
We have a dog and have had it since it was a puppy. The best book you can get is called “Super Puppy” and it sells for about $4. It’s full of practical, honest training advice.
There are two ways to get it to refrain from biting:
1) Bitter apple — spray this on a cotton ball and jam it in the dogs mounth anytime it bites something inappropriate
2) Other dogs — allow it to play with other puppies. They will learn how hard is too hard from each other.
Btw, isn’t giving a dog as a wedding gift an odd thing? It’s like dropping off a foster child to people who’ve completed their first year anniversary.
