Hi All!
I am a proud mommy of 2 basset hounds. Nelly is 2 and Vinnie is 1. We got Vinnie from a breeder when he was 6 weeks old and about 2 months ago, we got Nelly from a rescue.
From the very beginning, Vinnie has had mouthing/biting issues. We have tried everything, but nothing works. We tried obedience classes, but the instructor asked us not to come back! I have several Basset books/magazines, but they all say the same thing about getting your baby to quit biting. We have had zero problems with Nelly. She doesn't do anything bad —it's all Vinnie!!!
We also have problems with Vinnie getting into things. Since October he has been to the Vet ER 3 times!!!! He cannot/will not stop getting into stuff and chewing stuff up! It's driving me crazy!! He has torn/chewed up some very important valuables of mine and my husbands. When he gets things in his mouth, he becomes very aggressive with them and will not under any circumstances relinquish. He tenses up really tight and starts to growl and his lips start to quiver and he gets this look on his face.
Does anyone here have any suggestions? I'm at my wits end!!!
