Hey Doc.....Thank' s for sending the tip' s....I' ve got them all printed out. Today during Shooter' s first seasion....His first attempt to hold he hardly fought..Then after that...everytime I started to put the bumper in front of his mouth...he would reach for it....then while in his mouth he would try soft chew' s....and not spitting it out.......should he be allowed to do this..??....or should I hold his jaw' s together till he does' nt try the light chewing again..??... Sorry if this might seem tright.......but I worry that if I make a mistake......he' ll be the one to suffer by having to be re-trainned for my mistake' s.......Thank' s again for your nice word' s...
