					<description><![CDATA[I have MS and have trained my female pups to be my service dogs.  They have all been wolf/hybrids.  They were a joy to train and easy.  We just lost our Shiloh  who was 80% wolf and 20% German shepherd. She was a gentle soul of a dog and people loved her.  We now live in Costa Rica where it seems All locals and expats like myself have dogs but only the expats seem to train their dogs with any type of manners.
Well, I took a few months for grieving...and looking for a larger type dog that I would again train to be in service and a well adjusted in public dog.  I found pups of German Shepherd/Belgian Shepherd mix.  I wanted another female but they were all sold.  So I had to get my first Male dog ever.  It should not be this difficult to train a male dog verses a female dog.... but I am very frustrated.  He is HIGH energy which he did not show us when we were choosing he from his brother. AND he loves toes and nipping.  Recently I spend 11 days in the hospital with a case of cellulitis that had been caused by his raking my leg (by accident) with a tooth as we played. And today the nipping and biting he trys to bite flip flops, and the shield I have over my leg to protect it from future scratches (that he might not be the cause of).  today he again bit my husbands arm, when my husband when to pet him and treat he nice... and drew blood again... The other day I saw a first sign of aggression when I gave him  a knuckle bone and someone (luckily a dog knowledgeable man). We have two small children who want to be able to play with him and love on him... I can&#039;t let them yet. I have tried the redirect with toys he can have... and I must admit that just doesn&#039;t work... I also did what I am finding is a no no for us to do... tug of war...I&#039;ll now use that as a chew toy for him.  I have been finding YOUR suggestions I&#039;ve been reading are more reasonable and I will be trying them... but I need to know what do do about the stubbornness of biting, and his strong strong will to do it all HIS way.  If I tell him NO he yells (barks) at me... like he is saying... don&#039;t you tell me no...]]></description>

Yeah, I had some very difficult times with my Shiba Inu with regards to leash biting. With Shiba Sephy, several things helped-
1. Desensitization training with excitement triggers, e.g. other dogs.
2. Controlling my own energy. Sephy is very sensitive to the energy of the people around him. If I become nervous, anxious, angry, or stressed, he will quickly pick up on that energy, get even more stressed himself and his behavior will worsen. I always try to stay calm and just focus on my plan of action.
3. Short leash and brisk walk home. I can do this because Sephy has good bite inhibition, and does not cause any real damage when he bites on me. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://shibashake.com/dog/train-your-dog-to-stop-biting-on-the-leash&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;More on my leash-biting experiences with Sephy.&lt;/a&gt;

Management equipment can also be helpful, for example using a basket muzzle in the short-term. I always desensitize my dog to the muzzle first before using. 

However, as you know, dog behavior is very context dependent so each dog and situation are different. Since your arm is already getting hurt from the experience, it may be best to get guidance from a good professional trainer who understands desensitization training and counter-conditioning techniques. There are few controls in the dog training field, so it can be a challenge to find a good trainer. The articles below have some good information on what to look for in a trainer.

					<description><![CDATA[Hi, 

I really liked the blog and information on here, we just got a year or so old collie shepherd from the local humane society. 
He is mostly great, there are a lot of little behaviours that we have been seeing and coming out at random times. 
A new one is how bad his biting has gotten on walks...mostly at the end, when he knows we are coming home, but sometimes at the beginning or randomly too, he gets very aggressive, and like you mentioned, bites the leash, but mostly me or my partner, on sleeves, arms, hands, anything, jumps to get at us. 
We are starting a training program on the 9th, but in the mean time, have been looking for solutions, or things to do, because, I have the same mix of dog as a family dog, he was a rescue, and of course all their paths are different, and all their pasts, but he was never this aggressive, and a breed like that needs to be walked and taken outdoors, but it makes me dread it because I&#039;m always thinking....when is he gonna snap? 
I missed work today because the bit from last night rendered my arm bruised, pulled, and useless, I don&#039;t want to take medication for infection every time there&#039;s a walk...any tips?
-At a loss,

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://shibashake.com/dog/bite-inhibition/comment-page-5/#comment-2457&quot;&gt;Priscila&lt;/a&gt;.

Yeah, Sephy was also very sensitive to neck grabs and collar grabs. This was because when I grabbed his neck it was almost always to physically stop him from doing something or to otherwise punish him. As a result, he associated grabs with negative consequences and always did his best to stay away from me. 

With Sephy, it was a lot more effective to control him using a flat collar and leash. I always supervise him well when he is roaming freely in the house and I have &lt;a href=&quot;http://shibashake.com/dog/puppy-obedience-training#draglead&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;a drag lead&lt;/a&gt; on him for control. I only use a drag lead when he is under my supervision and only with a safe flat collar or harness (no aversive collars). 

At the same time I also had to do a lot of desensitization exercises to help him re-associate my hand and my touches with being calm and positive rewards. Desensitization always has to start off small, with a very weak version of the problem stimulus. It is also very important during the entire rehabilitation process, that we do not expose our dog to the problem stimulus in a negative way. 

For example, when I want to desensitize my dog to a certain sound, I start with a very soft version of the sound and only *very slowly* build up from there. During the entire rehabilitation process, I make sure never to expose my dog to a loud version of the sound (before he is ready for it), because that would cause him to regress and greatly set back retraining. 

The key with desensitization is to always set my dog up for success so that he learns to tolerate more and more of the problem stimulus in a calm way. The more successes we have, the better he is able to handle things in the future. Similarly, bad experiences will undermine his confidence and training.

With Sephy it was very important to set up a fixed routine and a very consistent structure at home. Here are a few more things that helped with Sephy.

While retraining Sephy, I learned that consistency, repetition, timing, energy, and technique are all very important. In addition, &lt;strong&gt;dog behavior is very dependent on temperament and context.&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, we did private lessons with several trainers who could observe Sephy within the context of his regular environment. In this way, they can also help me with timing, energy, and technique.

					<description><![CDATA[Hi!
I love your blog, Im reading everything to absorb and implement with my puppy.
I have a 16 weeks miniature schnauzer, but after reading a lot of your posts, her behavior looks very similar to your shiba.
Unfortunatelly I just found your blog 2 days ago, so I committed the same mistakes: listen advices from people suggesting to do the alpha-roll, hold her muzzle, do a loud noise...
Now, I feel like my puppy lost the trust on me and she is becoming agressive.
Now, I feel like my puppy lost the trust on me and she is becoming agressive.
I started using some reward training with positive reinforcement after I found some youtube videos from this kind of training, and I think its the best option for her since the aversive training just changed her behavior.
Now she is showing some rebel behavior, when she is restrained, example: she reaches for inside the fridge when Im getting something, she ignores when I call her and I use my hands to get her she doesnt bite but go near my hand (like just to me). Every time she is contradicted she does the same, and Im really concerned because this behavior can be escalated when she became an adult dog and then the bite will hurt.
I stay at home all day with her, and I try to do some training. She now has a problem with the doorbell and the door, she became really over excited, and I&#039;m trying to desensitized her but I don&#039;t see any progress. So when she tries to reach the door, I try to block her way until she is calm, but I think this is doing the same wrong result as the other things.
She is very sweet, she loves to play, but she bites a lot (play bite) and sometimes when she really bites when my husband and I are on the couch and she wants to play (yesterday she cut my skin), even after a long time playing fetch and them with the flirt pole.
My husband says Im overreacting, because she is just a puppy, but I think this is a behavior that must be redirected as soon as possible because I don&#039;t want a agressive adult dog.
I love her, she is my little companion, but sometimes her pushy bevahior it&#039;s difficult.
I don&#039;t know where to begin.

Any advice will be great! 
Thank you!]]></description>

When my Husky puppy was young, she was also very mouthy and very energetic. I put a lead on her (only with a flat collar and only under supervision) so that I could better control her.

<p>When my Husky puppy was young, she was also very mouthy and very energetic. I put a lead on her (only with a flat collar and only under supervision) so that I could better control her. I can also clip the lead to my belt, so that if I need to be in the kitchen, I can have her close-by and supervise. </p>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi,

I have a 9 week old husky x Belgian shepherd, Ozzy,  who at the moment is a non stop biter! He is particularly fond of biting my legs and ankles!! He also loves to bite my nearly 3 year old son who has taken to squealing and dropping to the ground if the puppy runs at him which of course excites the puppy! When I pull the puppy off my son he will growl and be quite aggressive so I will put him outside for some &quot;quiet time&quot; .  I am trying to get my son to not drop on the ground or run or squeal but it is difficult!  Ozzy is proving to be a quick learner but I just can not get him to stop biting! We are going to puppy school once he has had all his needles but that&#039;s not for another 3 weeks! Hoping you can give me some advice!

Thanks
Kristy]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;but my shiba inu just randomly bit the husky on her neck.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hmmm, what kind of bite? Was there skin penetration? Was it aggressive or in play? What were the dogs doing before that? Were there resources around - food, toys? Context is very important when it comes to dog behavior.
