3. Water bottle!

I have 8 dogs. All rescue. Just got three pups, 6 months and almost one year.

The older dogs were set in their ways and had issues. I let them do whatever. One was a constant barker. It was okay when he was the only one doing it, but the three new ones picked it up.

Someone told me to squirt them lightly with water. After just three days it is working. They don't even bark when my other half leaves for the day. They are sleeping here with me, so I don't think they hate me. They are so much better behaved. The 6 month olds now come in when called.

I think this would work with your biter. Mine didn't like chew toys but loved pig ears, and they are entertained with those for a long time. Made in USA only piggie ears!

Good luck.
