Now this is where you need to be honest mate.....Did you let the dog fetch sticks and then have a little chew on them, did you or anyone think it was fun to play 'tug' with the dog or when she was a pup did she have any chews with those f*****g squeaks in them?.... If so then all these things contribute to a hard mouth dog....

Obviously i'm speaking from a Gundog point of view but you could try keeping her on a lead and let her carry something (a dummy if you have one), the minute you see her bite down on it then give her a tap on the nose and a stern 'No!!'. You have to repeat this until you feel she isn't biting down. Then you can extend the lead and try a retrieve......repeat the tap on the nose and 'No' if she bites down. When she no longer bites you can try her of the lead and so on with further retrieves.

Good luck with trying to cure it though, its very difficult and could be very time consuming......

Thats barbaric! Use nails. Just push them through the rabbit, so the points come out the otherside. No more biting down,

 

Actually, like lab-tastic said, hard mouth is hard to break. But, alot of retrieving drills might help. Also, having the dog carry around a dead rabbit on his walks. (out of the public eye) This worked for my wirehair. As he bites down, correct him. No guarantee's, but worth a try.

 

Good luck!
