Re: Does your puppy "back talk" you?

Hi Krazy4Kenzi,
I was just going to look up puppy biting when I saw your post. As you can see ALOT of CC owners have the same problem. I wondered if it was a "litter thing" as Dharma gets "bitey" and talkative too. She's "bitey" at various times during the day but gets most talkative before she sleeps/naps. I hope the biting is a phase. Jack and Missy are both pretty vocal so I would expect their litter to be as well. Waiting to hear about solutions for the biting if anyone has them? Anyone?

Re: Does your puppy "back talk" you?

When I was training mine to not bite or nip, I used a sound+redirection. If he clamped down, I said "Ow" LOUDly, and redirected his attention to one of his toys. A couple of times, I needed to take it to the next level and I walked out of the room, ignoring him completely. But this happened maybe twice.

I know other people will chime in with more suggestions

Hi CampbellCorso- Kenzi has gotten better we've used a combination of yelling OW and putting her in timeout. She hardly ever bites my husband now but when I say OW that doesn't stop her from biting me. I'm not sure why she treats us differently.

I was saying "ouch" and ignoring him (hands crossed and back turned from him) but both seemed to only excite him even more. Kneeing in the chest to get him to not jump excited him too. Since those methods weren't working for us, our trainer suggested I be a bit more firm.

We're two weeks into our one-on-one training and I have no more bruises on my arms from Cheeno nipping at me when he throws his tantrums. The thing that I changed? I've been more firm with him, putting him in his place. He walked around for a week straight with his leash on so when he started to act up, I would say "NO" and give a quick pop of the leash (a tug/jerk, but NOT when the leash is pulled tight). Now, all I have to do is say "NO" and he quits what he was doing (jumping on me, others, etc).

Re: Does your puppy "back talk" you?

Hi everyone, new to the forum and to this breed. We went to dog shows to gain more knowledge and fostered a Cane for a couple of months and loved the temperment. Fast forward to our 10 week old male. Zoomies absolutely, no problem dealing with those. My concern is the dominance that he is showing, humping our 14 year old lab that does nothing to correct him. Snaps at me when I remove him. Can someone direct me to the right thread that will help me deal with puppy aggression?

Are you the one who she spends most time with? Also, are your husband's interactions with the dog limited during the day?

At 10 weeks it is not dominance. It's just a way some (spoiled?) puppies interact. But you can ask a trainer how its best to stop this behavior.

Actually, I work from home so I interact with the dog more during the day. She's crated while I work, but I take her out 2-3 times during during the day for play and/or walks. When she gets bitey, I can usually just give her a "hey" and the biting stops. With my wife it generally takes a time out to get her to stop.

Yeah we call it the puppy crazy hour... The main thing is not to let them bite flesh I think they get a taste for it. Until they get older of course and you can start protection training.

Macy (DDB) is 18 months and still gets "the zoomies" (a perfect description). She runs around in circles on the bed like the exorcist then launches herself off the bed and tears down the hall, skids on the hardwood to turn around and then relaunches herself back onto the bed. If you try to touch her she gets nippy and tries to "defend" the bed. We just stand back and let her get the crazy out. She usually gets tired quickly thereafter.

Yep, Our puppy we just got a few days ago does this. If we put her in her crate she is OUT!!

I work from home too...How long do you take her out each time to play? I'm still trying to figure out how long will be make her tired enough to sleep a few hours.

Re: Does your puppy "back talk" you?

When we did our training our trainer suggested a reverse time out. If they get nippy or won't listen you walk out of the room and/or close the door behind you, wait 30 sec or so and then go back. Usually it gets their attention and changes their focus. And calms you down in the event they are sensing any anxious/angry vibes from you.

Good advice! I will have to try that.

I generally spend an hour with her @ lunch. Usually a quick training session, some time playing, and then we both eat lunch. The other breaks are 20-30 mins and we play it by ear depending on her energy level. Sometimes a walk, sometimes play, and sometimes just some petting time. A flirt pole works wonders for the times when she is full of energy. I'm working on getting her to be able to sleep, chew, relax on the dog bed next to my desk while I work. Today she was able to do it for a little while, but she got restless after a nap and had to go in her crate.

Re: Does your puppy "back talk" you?

hahaha my zeus gets the zoomies like crazy!!!! i know he is not pure corso but i guess he took the trait. its so funny to see such a big puppy that has not filled out all the way sprawl out and go running zig zag between the couches around the island in the kitchen under the coffee table (usually hitting his head) than plowing straight into me to play. Good to know im not alone in this one

Re: Does your puppy "back talk" you?

Haha our EM Charlotte does the same thing each night. She's 13 weeks. I think it's one last hurrah before bed for her (although sometimes she does it right before a big poop too). She's an absolute TERROR, but then collapses into sleep just a minute or two later. I mean, it's adorable, but she's ripped more than one pair of my pants in her excitement.
