I will try the toy... |
Misty's brother, Marrok, has also the same problem
so maybe it is genetic trait.
Whatever is the source of this behaviour, Marrok use the mouth very often, in play (dogs don't like it), and also in greetings. But I see it is getting better in time. Of course we try to control the situation when strangers appears, we use NO together with learning the command "lick". But the best way was to keep dog attention for the first minuites, it could be exactly the toy or doing other command (for example sit) for food rewards
but we still are looking for better way, because it doesn't always work.
