You breed dogs Jim? Raise them? Or just love them? I can't recall I know you are a dog guy IMO. I want to think you are a vat or work with dogs. Eitherv way
When I was raising my pitbulls. I never hit them. I did flip them. Abd a few times I'd grab their nose. Then slap my forearm with a newspaper.
I sometimes growl or snarl. When I say "No!" it sounds like a loud discipline bark. We teach puppies not to bite by slipping their lips over those sharp little baby teeth. They learn that biting people makes their mouth hurt, but biting toys doesn't.
