Fila pup nipping kids

Thats awesome. I would agree that a grown Fila should not be harsh to it's people. I am not sure that applies to pups myself. It's just a pup. I also agree with swift and "harsh" actions. I grab the neck and shake for sure my self. I play very rough with kona and I can say with certainty that you will hurt your hand before the dog so spanking aint gonna get it. ahahaha But you grab that neck flap and shack while saying no, oh she knows I aint BSing. Dont hurt just lets them know it is no longer a game. Not to say she aint had her share of smacks on the rump, but I promise you, it means nothing to her except play time. Far as going to the back door... Kona goes under the kitchen table. ahahaha. If I pick up a piece of trash and just loo at her, she puts her head down and sulks on her way to the table. Then after the mess is clean, she comes and plays super sweet so daddy aint mad at her. ahahahaha

I have to agree, puppies will be puppies. I think it had more to do with him being territorial of specific things. Yes, spanking him doesn't do much good but it does hurt his feelings. Grabbing him by the neck is much more effective I have found like you stated. Really he is just a big ol' baby trying to find a place in my pack of kids LOL

On a serious note he is much better and is actually learning that the kids are an authority figures as well

They learn very fast. I never had a dog that learned so fast. If they listen is a whole nother issue. ahahaha With a fila it always hurts their feelings. Thats why spanking alone or even hard just dont get it. Yelling at a fila does bout the same thing. And the spank dont hurt no one but you anyways. ahahaha

true enough. I find that if I just look at her and do a low growl she doesnt even look at me the whole day... as soon as she sees me after that she looks away... pathetic. But like chuck said... I could beat her, smack, kick her all day and as long as she thinks its play then it is. (trolls, dont take this out of context).

LOL, it should go without saying but we have one that would show this to the police/aspca, post it all over forums and harp that I'm a professional dog beater and bear baiter, LMFAO!
