Searchplay bitting
i have a five year old son that loves to play with baliey, but when he does she play bits and sometimes hurts him. how can i stop this
hello thanks for wriiting back. he will try to play with her no rough and all she will do is bit his hands and the back of his legs. he cant even wal though the house without her bitting the back of his legs. she has been in no training. we just got her ears done that was really high also for the cost of her, so with all of the money we have spent we are trying to find something we can afford and someone that is good. we love her so much and want to do right. she is really smart.
Ntate~ You need to get some common household training going on. Teach things like sit, down, stay, no, off, come, AND easy. Easy can be easy to teach. With a treat, Baleily gets it only when he can take it in a very easy fashion. He'll pick it up in no time. There are tons of informative training techniques here ... Use the search for specifics.
Welcome to the site and continue with any questions.
We love photos, BTW :)
thank you she is very smart she knows to sit, stay, and off. thanks for the advice
Ok so pup is roughly 5-6 months old? oh btw welcome to forum.... Ummmm get the pup socialized, get her in some training... Petsmart near you? Go to classes there. take ur son.... I have 12 and 7 yr old step kids... trust me it helps!
How old is your son? We haven't been to formal training, but I decided I would watch videos on youtube and make myself do 45 minutes to an hour every morning of basic obedience mixed in with exercise. I found that this made a difference in the "rough" factor. The more exercise he gets the less rough he is. We decided not to teach easy so much as to just teach him not to do it at all. It seems like he forgets to be easy when he's so wound up, but if he's not allowed to do it at all, then we don't get trouble. Took some work with my son also - he had to be willing not to do things that lead to rough play.
But absolutely if you can find a class, do it. I'm just sharing what we had to do b/c we live rural and I can't find a trainer or classes w/in 100 miles of here. Kikopup has some good basic training stuff on youtube. There's a lot out there. We're on the beginning side of things ourselves. Hope it goes well!
Welcome to the group! I dont have any small kids around (my youngest is 23) but I echo the "training" advice. It keeps the dog busy learning things and that's always a plus. Petsmart classes are good for puppy socializing w/ people and other dogs, and cisco's suggestion of taking your son with you to the classes is an excellent idea. Five years old is old enough to learn a few simple rules about how to play and not to play with the dog. When I had Ziva in Petsmart puppy classes, there was a lady with a three year old girl and they both came to every class with their little beagle-mix puppy. The little girl learned to be gentler with the dog than she had been previously, while the beagle pup learned some basic manners at the same time....so it was a win/win situation.
thank you for the advice, we are new at this also always wanted a doberman. we want to do the right this. i havent thought about that a utube, thank u i will check that out. my son is five, i have talked to him and he minds but its hard for him and her both to calm down lol. how old is your puppy
thanks everyone for your advice

Naomi, I wish I had an answer for you but really all I have are more questions. (When I got Brinks my girls were teenagers -16 & 17.)
What kind of training have you done with Baliey? (BTW how is that pronounced?)
Is your son pulling, grabbing, wrestling, etc with her? Or possibly using other body language that is aggressive?
