Play biting or aggressive behavior?

Basenji Talk
  • K

    I know this is an old topic, but when my Stella plays, she can get a little aggressive too. she's drawn blood a few times!

    She's probably a little over a year old now; It didn't take long at all to train her to stop, all I have to do is tell her 'no biting' and she'll stop. She also loves to lick my wounds and bite off the scab that SHE made.

    @nancyss said in Play time: once any toy was void of stuffing, I could re-stuff them ...wait... Cassie leaves enough for you to mend her toys? doodle practically eviscerates them!!! [image: 1612655615022-toypic.jpg]

    @Gabriel: Yesterday on another thread I read how someone takes a squirt bottle of water and does a quick spray when she bites and then says no. I tried that on noel and it worked perfect. I just have to grab that bottle and she goes and lays down. She hasn't bitten me once today. I know it will take more than one evening to train her not to bite but I will be patient. The problem with this method is that Noel will not learn to soften her bite so if she ever does bite it will probably be with full force and result in serious injury. Though it takes longer to train, it is much better especially with young children in the house to use the method described in the link given in the other thread.

    @wizard: Has your beastie created a playroom like this? [image: 188.JPG] Love this picture! It's the same picture I could take of my own house…LOL! I have a bucket that the toys go in. I only wish-wish-wish that I could teach my furkids to put their toys away when they're done! Ha ha! Between dog toys and kid toys - It's insane! My son has finally learned to keep his stuff in "his" game room and shut door, but I am daily - pushing dog toys aside with my feet when walking thru the house! Ya gotta love 'em! :D
