Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. 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.

Hey!! I have a 2 and a half year old Husky that my husband and I got at 3 months of age. He has always nipped since the day we got him and I feel like we have tried it all! He has improved over the last year with us (occasionally nips at me to get my attention but does not ever jump on us), but still does it incessantly when greeting people which is what really concerns us. Anytime someone other than us approaches him he jumps on them and puts his mouth all over them. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to stop this with strangers (both jumping and nipping). Thanks!!

When Mishka did this I dragged her butt into the bathroom and shut the door, every time. It didn't take long for it to sink in that jumping and biting means a bathroom t/o. She only got to come out when she stopped the screaming fit she'd throw after being put in the bathroom. It's pretty much the same concept as this:

Took about a month until she 100% of the time never did it. It depends on how consistent you are and how often it's enforced as well as how much they hate being shut up in a bathroom! lol

Hmmm, I wonder if Kody hates the bathroom. He's never been in there! Thing is that I don't have people over too often. Maybe every other weekend or so. I'm going have to start inviting people over just to train him....lmao

Aevyn does the same thing, I'd like to try the bathroom time out deal but.. I worry for our...uhm. floorboards? No. The... trim-board...things. He has managed to rip them off the wall when he's determined enough. (I know english, i swear.)

Would it defeat the purpose if I put his toy in there with him to keep him distracted? >_>

The idea is to stick them somewhere that they're isolated. Doesn't have to be for a long period of time.

I'm wondering if this will stop Stormy from eating the cat. My poor cat. I've sprayed him with bitter apple, sprinkled him with red pepper....I'm beginning to think all I am doing is seasoning him.

my Elvis doesnt nip as much anymore and doesnt really jump on people. but if he does with niping i yell owe! and he looks at me. and than i say gentle. bc i taught him gentle when he would get a treat have him lick for it not nip.. and jumping i would hold his to front paws and make him stand on his back legs til he gets frustrated when he got to that point i would let him down and say no jump. it helped.

still learning but much better.
