Throughout the day try walking out of the room she is in for a few seconds then come back & treat, then extend the time you’re out of her sight and again treat when you go back in. This worked for our little boy. We also leave the radio on (a talk show) so it’s not so silent. An old t-shirt...

Yes, he goes to a country park but had yet to be let off lead. Not sure we’d get him back at the moment!

Thanks, merlina - I hope it’s sooner rather than later!

He’s still mummy’s little boy even when he sinks his teeth in!

I hadn’t been bitten for two days on the trot which has never happened, thought we were finally making some headway but he really kicked off all last night AND this morning which he never usually does. It’s so frustrating!

Thanks, Mrs S, it’s nice to know there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

Hi Dami, what a cutie Phoebe is :)

It is frustrating as other than the biting I cannot complain about anything else. Yes, pup does get a bit naughty but I expected that! It seems to be just indoors he bites us so perhaps it’s a boredom thing? We’ve been removing ourselves from the room when he starts to bite for almost 2 months...

Hi Roxanne, we're going through the same thing with our 15 week old Vizsla. Good luck and let us know how you get on x

Yes, we use a clicker and have also tried to redirect his behaviour by getting him to sit when he starts to play up. Sometimes this works, other times it doesn't. If he is really riled up it almost certainly doesn't. Our boy has had two training classes (which are held outdoors), however, as...

We didn’t want to use the crate for time outs - our place is open plan so we installed some baby gates at the openings. That said, now he is getting bigger he can lunge over the gates and therefore get to us to resume the biting. Unfortunately the openings are big & we’ve not seen any higher...

An update…. Our bundle of joy is now 15 weeks old. While the biting hadn’t ceased it did seem to ease a little, only now it’s come back full force, along with barking. Our boy has found his voice. He now barks at us, jumps up & bites. We’re trying to ignore him when he is like this (which...

Just a little update - furry baby seems to accept redirection 70% of the time with a toy when he starts biting us during the day, but in the evening there’s about 30 mins when there is nothing you can do with him, so a time out is the only option. My arms still look like someone has gone at me...

Thanks folks, at least it’s not making me emotional any more so that’s one good thing!

Spoke too soon, just had a bad bout of it! :(
