Useful behaviors to train: Take it nice!



Take it nice: 

Feed Fido a treat by hand.  If you feel his teeth at all, say “OUCH!” in a deep tone and refuse to release it.  Take it back, say “Take it nice,” and try again.  Only release the treat when the dog is taking it very gently.  Dogs have incredible control over their teeth and jaws, and can be incredibly gentle when encouraged to do so.  If your dog continues to grab hard or breaks skin, consult with an expert.
