Issues with new rescue dog

[bobslurchers]

Ideas gratefully recived on this.

New dog is settling in ok but is getting more confident! He will jump up and bite at your arms and clothes. He will stop for 5 mins if told NO! We have tried putting him in the kichen as a time out to let him calm down, but he does not want to go.

If you pull him he will bite at your hands. Both me and ralph have been bitten hard enough to draw blood by this boy! He will also bite at the lead (or yor hand if he can reach) if you give a pull to reinforce a sit command.

He knows sit as he will do it if there is food about but not on command.

I have had biting issues with both the others but never this bad or persistant!

i say it's all very new to him at the moment , being in a new home around new people and dogs , just getting him to understand where he is in your pack ,
patients will be a big part of it and be strong with him let him know whos boss

all the best they can stubben

Currently i am thinking someone has used a choke chain on him before too roughly and he is scared of being strangled, but then i wonder if it is just him making a fuss so he doesnt have to do what he dont want to do.
