My ds who is 20 months is really enjoying biting at the moment, and it's now got to the point where he does it all the time, when he's excited, or cross and it seems like sometimes, just for the hell of it. Yesterday, he wanted the toy his big brother had, and because he coundn't get it, he launched himself on ds1, two fists full of hair and did a wide open mouth anaconda style bite on the top of his head! this was accompanied by feral style roaring and he was trying to bite with such force that he was actually shaking
So far, i've tried removing him from who ever he is biting and plonking him unceremoniously accross the other side of the room with a firm "no biting", removing him but not paying it much attention, shouting at him and so on. I haven't been consistent and need to have an approach and stick to it, so what worked for you, can someone give me some ideas so I can formulate a plan, or should I just get him a muzzle??
