Re: [PyrNet-L] Obedience school?

Ok, I understand what you are saying, but what do you do when he bites at
your legs when you are walking through the house? Or outside?  Those are
mighty sharp puppy teeth, and my first reaction is to get away, and to tell
him NO.  Also, when he is chewing or pulling on the table cloth, ok- I can
see deterring him with a command, but I just am at a loss, then with what to
do when he grabs my pant legs or shoes...
Any suggestions?
