Opinions please ---- Maggie can go from a sweet heart - to a terriorst in a nano second--- biting us is our big problem - we have changed our behavior with her --- but after both me and my wife are chewed up- I have 23 bite marks on my hands and arms my dear wife is just as torn up! I carry treats in one pocket and a paper towell in the other to stop the bleeding -- Signing no pinching the nose as I sign --- holding lips inside her mouth till she stops biting -time out into crate -- holding bottom jaw when she tries to bite !! This is what we are doing ! Any advice --- comments ---- This is some what our falt from 3 weeks not knowing she was deaf and knowing how to communciate !!
We have tried the bitter apple spray - does not phase her -- bitter end - hahh some what ----
Note I raised 4 kids and teanages are tougher than this LMAO
We have been placing Maggie in the kitchen where her crate is with baby gates . So when she is out with us to work on her lessons she is ok -- just normal time is when she goes after us in a play mode--- we are going to try and let her run around the house and spend more time in direct contact with us so it is not a big deal to be out with mom and dad.
What do you guys think ????
