Things You'll Need
- Spray bottle
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup lemon juice
- Clean rag
- Pig ears
- Dog chew toys
Instructions
Add 2 cups white vinegar and 1 cup lemon juice to a spray bottle. Secure the spray bottle lid. Shake the bottle to thoroughly mix the ingredients.
Spray the mix onto a clean rag. Massage the second dog's ears with the damp rag. The taste of the mix will prevent the Lab from biting the dog's ears.
Tell the Lab "No" as soon as you notice any biting. Use firm hand commands -- an open palm to signal "stop" or repetitive snapping -- to emphasize the order. Avoid yelling at the Lab while you assert your authority.
Encourage the Lab to bite on appropriate chew toys or pig ears. Tell the Lab "Good dog" and pet it when it behaves. Repeat steps one through four on a daily basis until the Lab behaves on its own.
