Play Biting (rough play with other dog)
Molly and Patch are getting on very well indeed. Double Trouble!! I have two problems though. One is that they are very hyper when anyone comes and bark like crazy, so I have to put them in another room, a bit worried in case it gets out of hand and someone gets nipped.
The main problem is that they play so much and catch hold of each other when playing. So much so, that Milly has some quite nasty sores on her neck. She doesn't yelp but Patch is quite a lot chunkier than she is and is obviously biting her harder than needed. I have bathed her sore spots and put medication on, I wondered if there is anything that I could put on to make him stop chewing her. (something nasty tasting) that would be a deterrant.
I know it is just the newness of it all and hopefully it will settle down (after all Patch has only been with us for 2 weeks) But I don't want my little Millie hurt. Patch is a real sweetheart, by the way. We love him to bits.
Regards,
