yeah, my "duder" was a bit bigger than that one when I got him. little did I know how much that dog was going to fart. great dog but for that one little thing. even after many trips to the vet and changes of food, he still could make you run out of the room. open windows and just about gag. didn't seem to brother him one bit though. dave in pa.
Meanwhile, this morning I pried my pit's mouth open so I could shove his monthly heartworm meds down his throat. My right hand was literally knuckles deep in his throat.
Yes, Zsa Zsa, my pit, caught another rabbit who zigged when it should have zagged yesterday evening in the back yard. Had it in her mouth with a death grip. Not bad for a 9-year-old with arthritis in her hips.
First thing I've taught my cats and dogs is that my hand will fit in their mouth, no matter how small or large they are. They really don't like it when the fingers shoved down the throat start wiggling.
And if they nip you too hard, make a loud pain noise and then roll them over and grasp the neck while doing the "NO!!" thing.
Thusly all my 'evil big dogs' like a rottie or a cane corso will not purposely put their teeth anywhere on my body.
Teach them young, teach them hard.
There's a book by the Monks of New Skete were one of the techniques to stop a dog chewing on things you don't want them chewing on is to put object in the mouth of the dog and masking-tape it in. Leave it in for an hour. Shoes, books, remotes, cell phones, whatever. Dog will get the idea and there's no harm done. And it works.
Can't train a puppy to not gnaw on you? Why do you have dogs?

Gotta love it when they think you're nourishing.
ReplyDeleteIn another month, I wouldn't let my fingers get anywhere near that pit's teeth.
