Driving home after the daughters ball practice and we pass some girls holding up a "free puppy" sign. All the kids have wanted a puppy since the last one got killed by a large rubber tire. So I stop and they all fall in love with this guy...

Doggy

"We'll play with him everyday, and feed him, and clean his poop, c'mon daddy lets keep him."

Don't listen to all that it is a lie! My kids suckered me! I've already spent every dry afternoon building their playground that the manual says will take two experienced carpenters 16 hours to build. But I still have time for the gym ;)

I haven't determined if he is evil yet. Its a nice dog, but then again he will just up and bite the crap out of your fingers when you pet him sometimes.

This is what we did with our dog and now she will not bite anyone.

Holds your fingers out, the dog will try to bit them because that is what dogs do. If she bites your hand, grab her nose firm enough so she is uncomfortable and say "NO."

Repeat this whenever you feel like it over the course of a few days. Soon your dog will try to look away if you stuff your hand in her mouth.

My dog is awesome. You could try to stuff a steak in her mouth and she would look away. The moment you give her permission though, she'd be all over it.

scold him big time when he does that. if he was given away free he may have had a rough few months of his life. don't let any bad tendancies stick around or you'll have a 60 pound dog with giant teeth who bites your hand off when you pet him. ;)

Scold him? Smack him in the face....if my dog bit me, I'd let him know he screwed up.....

LOL, he is just playing when he bites, but he has the sharpest teeth I have ever seen on a puppy.

It's normal for young dogs to nip every now and again. And no, the answer is *not* to smack the dog. It will never fully trust you if you do.

For our dog, we just coated our fingers in tabasco sauce once. :)

Funny, but my dog is obsessed with hot salsa... so it may not work on all dogs.
