We are enjoying our first working Cocker we have had several other dogs including Boxers so loony dogs are no great surprise for us, but we are somewhat confused by our almost 14 week old wee boys behaviour.
He constantly bites the hem of my wife's jeans and feet but he leaves mine alone (why). This is biting, drawing blood type biting, not mouthing or playing. Upon our protests he gets more excited and then the situation deteriorates until he gets put in his cage for some chill time.
Reading other posts on this subject suggests that he will grow out of this given time but I'm not sure if my wife's patience is going to last that long.
I'm currently trying a small muzzle for him which he allow's me to fit with no resistance; and then we have a completely different dog on our hands quite as a mouse and as obedient as you would expect any 14 week old to be.
Should we continue with the muzzle? I don't really like using it and I don't want to use it too much, possibly knocking the character out of him; but he does seems so much calmer maybe even happier when he's wearing it.
Has anyone got any experience/advice for us on these issues
