American Eskimo Dog Forum:
STOP BITING

IHAVE A 3 MONTHS OLD MINI AMERICAN ESKIMO. WHEN I PLAY WITH HIM AND I TELL HIM TO SIT DOWN HE WOULD SIT DOWN. AS I TRY TO PET AND RUB HIS HEAD HE WOULD TRY TO BITE MY HAND. SOMETIME, HE WOULD TRY TO BITE MY HAND WHEN IM CARRYING OR RUBBING HIM. I TELL HIM TO NO BUT HE WONT LISTEN. ALSO, HE LIKES TO BITE ON ANYTHING AND WHEN I TRY TO TAKE IT AWAY HE WOULDNT LET GO. I TELL HIM TO LET GO BUT WOULD NOT. IM AFRAID IF I DONT TRAIN HIM NOW HE WONT STOP. I APPRICIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS.

Dont feel all alone. I have a four month old female and I am having the same problem. My husband and I have tried everything we can think of to break her of this habit with no luck. Hopefully someone will read this that has an answer. Good Luck!

Hello. You might want to read what I posted on the behavior posts. Where did you get your dog from a breeder or a pet store? Need to know some questions first. I am a breeder of the Miniature American Eskimos and I have never had any problems with biting with my adults or puppies. Keep using a firm no with him/her with biting. Hope that I can help you.

Oops! I posted my response under behavior.

I hope this site is help to you and your puppy. If there is anything else I can do for you

email me splp1@yahoo.com Best of luck Jay
