We have an 8 month old male golden retriever. He nipped as a puppy but now that he is a "teenager" it has gotten worse. We have used toys for distraction,
crate time outs, no eye contact or walk away. Alpha procedures - we make believe that we are eating from his bowl - he must sit and wait. When we go for a walk he must sit till I go out the door.The newest thing is that when weE go out in the yard with him he jumps and nips - tearing clothing We have started obedience classes, he is very strong willed.
