Nipping
Hi,
I am having the same problem with my GSD. He is 1 1/2 years old and he is great at everything else. I thought it was just a puppy thing that he was still getting over. He was rescued from a puppy mill at 8 months with no training, so we have been working very hard. When people leave the house or strangers walk up to us he seems fine, then all of a sudden when they walk away he nips. The other day he did this to my neighbor, but it was more than a nip. She said she was fine, but I too am waiting for the knock at the door. I am taking him to a behaviorist next week, but in the mean time I am going to try Todd's suggestions.
Does anyone know why they nip as people are leaving instead of approaching?
Thanks
Liz & Koa
