TRAINING ORSO NOT TO BITE – 09.01.2010

Orso is a puppy, and like all puppies, he came armed with razor-sharp weapons.  We refer to these weapons of mass destruction as puppy teeth.  They hurt.  ALOT.  In our quest to teach Orso that biting hurts and is not acceptable toward humans, Gus came across this wonderful article by Leerburg: Training Puppies Not to Bite.  It’s a great guide for us because it teaches us how to understand and manage Orso’s typical puppy biting behavior without killing his awesome prey drive, which is extremely important to preserve for his training.  Happy reading!
