Jerry, we have / have had 2 Pit Bull / Lab crossbreeds, both were rescue dogs. And, we"ve had other breeds and helped at a local Dog Obedience school. All young dogs want to bit/chew - I think some of it is teething, some is simply an oral recognition, and some of it is wanting to be the "Alpha" dominate animal. I strongly encourage going to a "Beginners" dog obedience course - it will be good for the dog and FOR YOU! 1st step is setting up who is Alpha, best learned in a class. Yes, you can beat anything into submission, but dogs want to be led, and loved, and generally do want to obey. Beating often just teaches them that you are an @$$whole, as dogs forget what they were doing within a minute of doing it. The short course on biting: tell them NO, firmly, and consistently. If the dog persists, grab the lower jaw at the back just in front of the hinge joint and squeeze GENTLY, and Loudly and Firmly say "NO BITE" - there is a nerve just under the skin and on the outside of the jawbone, and squeezing it is extremely painful to the dog, so approach the grip carefully. Please note that dogs have a "Short Term" and a "Long Term" Memory - a lesson often has to be repeated longer than approx. 4 weeks for it to become a permanent memory.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
