Already have asked this 15 different ways but somehow this question seems different lol ...
So when you're playing with your puppy, say for example, in your lap.
And he starts to get aggressive.
Takes a bite of your hand.
What is your *first* response?
Note: This is different from an initial bite, where I often can "Yelp" or "Ouch!" really loud and he stops, kisses, or gummies up my hand in response.
This is when he's gotten on a little "kick" where he's just going to bite, then bite again, then bite again ...
I have tried the following:
* No! - he ignores and goes to bite again again.
* No! with finger pointed (he just bites at the finger)
* The Cesar Millan way - a bit of a "press" down on the back of the neck to suppress him a bit, require submission (very gentle) - he bounces back and bites immediately again.
* Even tried growling and saying no.... hes like "dude, you're not a dog" ... *bite*
* Assume you don't have a toy to stick in his mouth ....
* No! and tapping on the mouth (obviously worst option, immediately snaps back to bite harder)
The issue here is when they get into a mode of bite, bite again, bite again. When you react negatively.
I haven't found anything that he responds submissively to once he gets in this mindset.
Need a trick which will put him into submissive pose immediately to stop the behavior.
English Bulldogs definitely are dominant dogs.
Thanks.
