I recently posted on here last week about Bobbie.
Everything was great and I was doing the training of ignoring him when he bit... well suddenly now he is aggressively biting all the time.
He was perfect with me but now...
If I go to get him out the cage, he bites me.
I go to pick him up, he bites me.
Even trying to get him to step on my other arm... he bites me and it isn’t a small bite either now. He is drawing blood every time and even when he gets a grip of my skin he is pulling it back and forth so it hurts more.
Now, I’ve been doing the training... ignoring him on the floor, even when he bites me I don’t let him see that it’s actually hurting me as apparently they can get the attention they want from that. I’ve tried treats...
When he bites now, I’ve started putting him back in his cage for 5 mins, then going back to see if his calmed down. (Which sometimes he won’t bite, but sometimes he will)
I used to be able to stroke him, well now it’s like he will charge at me instead if I even try too.
His still the same way towards my partner, so his stopped trying now as he is getting attacked every time and his tried his best.
For me, I’ve still put my all into this... everyday training with the no biting, still getting him out and still I get bit
I literally have bite marks all over my hand, my arm and my neck from him.
Any advice... I don’t want to get rid of him but I’m feeling like maybe he actually doesn’t like me anymore?
Or would you say it’s suited for him to go to a better home?
I don’t want it where I can’t get him out anymore because all he does is bite and attack.. he was so loving when I first got him.
