The next thing that you can try in handling your dog that bites is trying a wide variety of collars that might help him out. I know that when I had a super shy and nervous dog that would act like she would bite I had to use a gentle leader. Now if your dog bites you as well then the gentle leader might be very difficult to put on. I do know that the gentle leader once on would keep her from being able to turn her head all the way around to bite at anything. That is because the gentle leader will help you control where the head is going to be going to.

The other thing that you can consider while handling your dog that bites is determining why he is biting. For some dogs if they are starting to bite or never stopped biting it could be because of a health problem. That is also another thing that you will want to discuss with your veterinarian. I know that with my dog his biting problem was because he was coming down with epilepsy and that is how he told us.

Handling your dog that bites can be a challenge for all people involved in the care of the dog. However, you will want to control the biting habit as quickly as possible to assure that your dog will not bite anyone. You can use a wide variety of methods, but the one that will probably work best would be one on one training with an animal behavior specialist.
