Coltrane is 11 weeks old now and still has a problem with biting us. He is not trying to attack us. When he wants to play, he'll get close to you and start barking. When we try to pet him, he starts biting at us. we tell him no, give him something to bite, yelp if he bit too hard. I have taken the approach of leaving the room and ignoring him for a while until he calms down. All of these tactics work for a little while, but he gets right back at it. I know it'll just take paitence and time for this to stop, but it is aggravating. At first the vet told us to "dominate him" by grabbing his muzzle and holding him until he calms down. That wasn't working out too well and resulting in him biting harder, so we switched to the other tactics. I wish he would jsut calm down. He's young and i guess he'll grow out of it, condsidering we keep telling him no and ignoring him if it gets too rough. He hates being ignored.
