Dog Training

[Cher Anthony]

Have a 14 week old cane corso/pitbull. Named Diesel. Can anybody recommend dog training in the Hamilton, Ontario area. He loves to bite socks while i feet are in them. Other then that he is a great addition to our family.

Hey, socks are fun! Especially when the toes wiggle when you bite them!! Can't blame him for that! LOL!!

Ah, puppies. So much fun!

Are you redirecting to appropriate chew toys? I'd "YIPE" when he bites toes (like a fellow puppy would do), and when he pauses and looks at you, "GOOD!" (for the pause and look) then grab a dog toy ("get the toy!!!"), and make it dance for him , when he bites that toy have a soft game of "tug" or "chase the toy" and make sure he forgets about the toes... eventually he'll figure out toes are boring and TOYS are fun!

Hopefully someone here knows a good trainer or class in Ontario, too.
We found a good "positive methods" class to go to which was a lot of fun - but I'm in the Seattle area, so, not close.
