Problem: Biting; Solution: Pig Ears & Beef Sticks


Well I discovered the answer to (most of) my problems with Nelson's biting: the pig ear and the beef stick. Yesterday we went to the Barkery and picked up a pig ear, beef stick and some gross fish stick thing. When we came home I gave him the pig ear and for the first time I was able to sit on the ground near him and clean out some papers, setting them on the ground not two feet away from him, and he didn't even try to eat them! And he loves paper!
Of course, after about an hour or two he wanted to bite me a little, but I didn't allow it and he found something else to do! Hopefully this will keep going and I will be stocking up on pig ears and beef sticks from now on!

We wish everyone a good week!

With love, Nelson & Ellen
