Hi. Just need some reassurance from my doodle friends. Biscuit is 8 months old now. And, I notice he is beginning to challenge me. He barks at me to play with him. It seems to be a bit dominating. I have stood and looked him in the eyes saying no, I have turned my back on him. Well, yesterday, when I turned my back on him, he bit at me. It was not a "bite" but enough for me to notice. I guess I would say a "nip". Well, I put his prong on with his long training leash. It happened again and he received a good correction. He settled down after that. I don't like that behavior at all.
Can anyone offer any advice. We walk every day, make sure to get exercise. We have been doing really well but I don't want Biscuit to think that he can dominate me to play with him.
Thanks.
Susan
