How Much Time Are You's Spending With The Stinkers ?

Feeling guilty now.dont bother mine near as much as I should, saying that though I can handle them in any situation, digs etc without a problem, have had the same stuff for a LONG time now. Good temperament bred in maybe?

I keep mine in house and have them free roammg the living room for play everyday so mine get very human friendly. I understand this doesn't fit in with the majority. But might if you let them out in your kitchen. If they are young I find I best to pick them up for very brief handling, few strokes and a bit of praise often does the job. Especially kits would rather be exploring and playing and don't take kindly to you taking that chance away from them by holding them hostage. So keep it brief - but often. Also getting them to play with you using a toy helps plus giving them treats by hand, all helps them assosiate your hands with positive things. I wrestle all of my with my hand and they understand what level of biting is acceptable. My best Jill was a bitch when young and it took her over a year of contact to settle down, but now she's a softy and a pleasure to work with.
