When you say "correction", can you explain what you mean by that?

In my experience, if you use a correction that is tough enough to fit the "crime" you may only need to do it once or twice to get your point across. My female Dane decided she NEVER wanted to bite me again! Best of luck!!!

ALL my dogs are corrected for any aggressive behavior. My Danes (I had one that was aggressive btw I said "was") would get a leash correction. For the chi it would be much less. BUT to let that continue just reinforces the behavior. My Danes are trained by the Khoehler method. I have three insanely stable dogs. I'll drag the rope out so I can let ppl start making my noose lol Rebecca Sent from my iPhone On Jul 27, 2012, at 8:36 PM, "Diane Blueberry" <[email protected]> wrote: Anyone out there experiencing the same, please write about how you deal with these behaviors. I love my Chihuahua with all my heart but the biting has scared most of my body. Any ideas??? = =
