hey guys,
i just got a 1 year old husky mix on wednesday, and this dog was a stray dog that came form iqualuit!
Anyways the first 2 days of walking went good for what you would expect of the dog...but since then, out of nowhere (could be at the start, middle or end of the walk) he would start bitting his leash and pulling hard on it. Now i think this is because he used to be a stray and was used to going wherever he wanted to, but as soon as he starts that, he starts jumping on you and play fighting roughly (hitting,bitting). When at home and playing he usually lightly bites are hands, and i started using the ''ouch!'' technique which is starting to work. But when i bring him outside i'm in full winter gear, and his bites are remarquably stronger (not enough to seriously injure, but still enough to bruise...ouch!). And he will go like that for a long time and i'm not able to control him. What can i do to make him stop and control him!?! He's a good dog and likes to please, i really need some help on this.
thanks
Nick
