I believe in doing something aggressive big time with biters-- I'm not anywheres near a bleeding heart.
First CUT him- then if he still tries to bite........
I've never seen anyone whos first instinct wasn't to knock the #### out of them--- that does it right when told to and it just becomes a battle of wills for them.
Get you a nice hot cigar--- make sure the cigar is where he wants to bite and let him go for it...........
NOT he bites THEN you burn him--
you have to let him bite at the cigar and have it burn him right then and there. No anger no recognition that you had anything to do with it at all-just keep right on going with what you were doing and be ready to do it each and everytime..
PS-- don't do it in the barn
A nice sharp short nail wedged between your fingers works pretty good too when you are in the barn.
knew an old timer that used to be able to grab the tounge and pull it out-- if the horse bit down he bit himself. I just never was quick enough to get the hand back out in time .
It was done and over so fast that you could hardly see what happened. But boy did he get a good reaction out of the horse.
No battle of wills/ just plain and simple- biteing is unpleasant.
And I'm not playing that game.
