Repeat Offender

Oscar's newest habit is biting, not just biting his toys but everything he's NOT supposed to be chewing on. This weekend it was like he kicked into full blown nipping mode and I could barely walk around the house without him on my heels.

I bought a book last weekend about how to train your puppy...I haven't learned much so far. I've really tried to read every detail in the book and even share them with Graysen so Oscar has consistencies. BUT by the time he is hanging by my hand I can't say "NO Biting" in a stern voice, I instead scream "OUCHHH OSCCAAARRRRR" at the top of my lungs! I busted him in the act of trying to chew off G's arm.



(No, my husband does not always wear a fleece jacket without a shirt under it,he just threw it on late one night to take Oscar outside, he actually will die when he sees this picture! So, let's not tell him it's on here mmmkay??)


I went last night and bought him more chew toys, as if he needed more toys. And the fabulous Kong thingy I had heard so many people suggest. I never truly believed it could occupy his time for an hour or two but once you squeeze the puppy stuff in it he goes wild and won't let it out of his mouth. AMAZING! His toys held him over from the biting for a bit.



I hope this biting phase passes fast because at the rate he is definitely a repeat offender for sure...any suggestions or helpful puppy training tips? It's a rough life for Oscar around here, I mean this puppy has it made!
