Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hi everyone! Trying to get some advice for training my husky to not put everything in his mouth including my hands. My Husky likes to playfully gnaw on my hands, rip the hair off of my newfoundland dog , and chew anything he can get a hold of. In December of last year (he was five months old at the time), he ripped and ate so much hair off the newf that he ended up with a bowel obstruction. We didn't notice he was doing this until then as our very patient newf did not even flinch while this going on. Of course we became very aware after he had to have a gastrectomy and a huge wod of dog hair was removed from his intestines. The other issues is of him gnawing on everyone's hands. He never bites, just likes to have our hands in his mouth. Tell him no, he stops, and starts again in a matter of seconds. He is relentless. He is extremely smart and I'm hoping this is something I can train him out of doing. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

| Son's dog was notorious for gnawing on hands. Success it's pretty much an invitation to play and to pay attention to him, what I did was make him sit at the first hint of gnawing. When he sat, I then petted and praised him. If he did not sit, I turned my back and held my hand to my chest. Once he was calmer, and responded to sit, he again got petting and praise. I also used a hand signal, arm outstretched, palm forward as in stop, along with verbal warning "eh eh eh." The purpose of all this was to only give the dog what he wanted, ie play, when he gave me what I wanted...a calm, non gnawing dog. Took a while, but consistency over time, he came around.
We have a wooly and I swear Archer thinks Ami is a chew toy! (Look at this month's hisky of the month) |
