Thank you @Mattandjean, this is great.

I did send out my questions through the link Alin provided, I agree with what you said I guess my puppy Paolo just needs more time and practice, I’m reviewing each and every video Robert has on structuring religiously and reading his every blog, he’s starting to get the hang of some commands but when he’s in drive nothing gets through his head so I’m working on that so that as you said I can wear him out mentally & physically, but he’s still consistent on the biting, but I’m hoping its just a matter of time & more practice on bite inhibition.

Thank you soooo much, I’m gonna keep your message in mind as I continue training.

Best Regards to You & Dixie

Hi Matt and Jean,

I was just reading your question & came to realize that I’m also having the same issue with my 4 months GSD, I was wondering if you could share any tips regarding the biting, my puppy is very rebellious one might say & smart, teaching him the leave it and the out command hasn’t been working he’s very stubborn, yesterday I crated him for refusing to leave an electric wire after he cried it out & seemed to be sorry I let him out but then he got so angry at me he went after me to bite my arm which bled & led to him being crated again, if you’d see me you’ll probably think I’m suffering from domestic abuse 🤦‍♀️

He barks like crazy whenever he wants me to come to him so he would just nibble on my shoes & walking away will make him come running to bite on my calves.

I’ve been trying to teach him the quiet command especially that the neighbors have been complaining but is it wrong that I didn’t teach him the bark command first? I’ve also been trying to teach him to stop biting luring him with treats instead of my arm because toys don’t interest him as much as my arm but I feel that could give him the wring message that when you bite you might get a treat.

He’s also very possessive and territorial, unless wants me in his room.

This whole experience is very new to me I’m usually terrified by dogs but I guess we’re both learning.

I’d appreciate if you could share any tips that you might have found effective in your situation.

Best Regards

Asma
