Re: [mastercpu] 4 Month Old Biting Wife But Not Me

Hi Nick, sorry to hear that your wife has a hard time controlling Maribel. I think dogs treat their owners differently. I swear its true. My dogs harass my husband everyday and will not let him eat lunch because they want to go to the park. They climb all over him, knock his hands and arms around and stare at him till no end. But they dont act like that when I am at home and they never harass me.
The way we trained our dogs, especially Milo is to say No, leave it, or No, come here, No, off, etc. Have you tried doing that with Maribel? Also, I dont know if this apply to your situation but when I get frustrated with my dogs and start yelling in a high pitched voice, they go at it more. Then I lower my voice and that seems to help. I dont really know why. May be you should also compare your behavior and body movements and the way you say the commands with your wife's. Who knows, may be there are subtle differences.
Of course I cant leave without saying something about clicker training. Ignore your puppy when it is harassing, when it stops, click and treat it. Soon Maribel knows, harass will be ignored, quiet will be rewarded. If you havent tried clicker training yet, its a good time to start. Hope you find my post somewhat helpful.
