Hello from a fellow AB owner in Australia

blackers10 · 09-29-2009, 03:14 AM

Hello all!
My name is Brenden and I am from just north of Brisbane in Queensland Australia
and recently became the owner of a 9wk old American Bulldog pup.

His name is Tonka (like the trucks)

we are in the process of getting him to stop attacking our hands and feet and the odd piece of furniture(floor mats and the foot stool etc)

He is pretty good then goes crazy then is good again(not biting everything) (I suppose he just gets tired)

we have been reading the forums and various other sites to try find the best training methods but that is proving hard as theres a few different methods.... and I cant work out how to use the NILIF method with such a young ignorant pup(how do you get him to listern to you??.
and dont know what i should be doing to stop him biting if hes getting vigorous..

any help would be great
thanks
Blackers
