You may remember my post from back in September when my husband and I adopted a nine month old handful of a pit bull. She barked obsessively at our cats and bit them if they got close enough, she bit us when we tried to put her leash on, she bit us if we told her to get off the couch, she ate everything she could get her paws on...she was a handful ( Read more... )

New Foster Puppy

Hi all :) Last week I took in a foster puppy. It has been a while since I had to live through the puppy years and am having a difficult time getting him to stop the play biting. My usual techniques (shouting 'OW!', withholding attention, redirection to a better chew toy than my arm) aren't working as well with this little guy as they have for my ( Read more... )
