So I was letting loki play with a puppy pitbull,
(dumb in my part because at the time I was not pitbull experianced enough to recognize that they innately have a high desire to be "mouthy")
since then Loki has become quite mouthy and is now going to other dogs ears with no remorse.
any ideas on toning this down?
The best I have come up with is backyarding and then keeping him on the gentle leader, If he bites the ear I call no, If he repeats I lift up with the gentle leader towards the sky which highly discomforts him. he has been relaxing a bit but I was curious if anyone had any other ideas.
