Hi, One message two questions/situaties 😊 1. I'm currently training with Tosti, a 2 year old husky. Whenever we start our training sessions, he gets super excited. Sometimes he just keeps pawing me or doing all the tricks in his arsenal. How can I help him feel more at ease and give our sessions more slow and calm energy? 2. Also, when Tosti gets frustrated, he seems to turn his frustration towards me. He jumps up at me, bites me (leaves me with bruises and really hurts me). I've learned to (not harshly, but tightly) grab him behind his ears and to let go when he calms down. It works, but I have to do this 3 or 4 times before he 'gives up'. I really would like to understand where this behavior comes from. Sometimes it happens during a walk or after he ate. It's making it hard to feel connected with Tosti and sometimes I feel like a hostage in my own home. Because when I go upstairs, he'll bite the cushions or destroy his bed.. I go on daily bike rides, I go on training walks (where he has to pay attention to me), I play with him, I challenge him with Brain Training.. But we can't seem to overcome this behavior. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance! I'm looking forward to hearing some of your thoughts. Ps: Sorry If the grammar isn't always correct. English is my second language.
