Re: What to do?


When I first got Cassie she used to bite me as well.....she was very nervous and I think that was why she did it. Whenever it happened I just said a firm "No" to her, it lasted for about a year but then she stopped and is alright now.

Yes I thinking 'screaming OUCH' when he does it and ignoring him for a bit, is meant to help as you are letting him know its not acceptable...

Re: What to do?


that would work Jac as long as he dont see him do it
but just putting him down and saying no should work
