bity scott

My first dog is a sheepie, Scott. I couldn't have a dog until I moved with my family to a really-huge-garden house. He's 3 months and a half but i'm concerned that he bites too much. I have a little brother of 6 years old who's kind of afraid of him cause he just wants to play all the time and his biting scares him. Also Scott kind of feels alone because we go out maybe too much but stays with the service. I try to spend as much time with him as I can but i really want to know if theres something i can do about his biting. I appreciate it if you could help me.

When our sheepie would bite we would let out a little 'yelp'. It would startle her and although it took some time she came to understand biting doesn't have to be part of playing. Good luck.
Welcome to the forum Lizzie.....
Puppies will nip, and as mum2sasha said, a yelp or loud ow! will let the pup know it's not acceptable. Also, ignore the pup for a bit if play gets too rough. Lots of praise when he plays gentle.
A puppy is abig commitment, andyou do need to make raising your pup a priority, they need lots of time and love :)
