1yo Dog steals, hides under table, then bites my hands when I try to pull him out
I don’t blame him I guess. Basically when I’m trying to get my 18mo Labrador to do something he doesn’t want to, he runs and hides under a table, bed, or bush in the yard. Then I reach in to grab his collar and pull him out, because I don’t want him to think he can get away with not listening. But when I stick my hand in to grab him, he starts biting at my hand. Not super hard, but still painful for me and honestly unacceptable. Here are some scenarios:
Dog steals a paper napkin that blew away outside, then runs under a bush so no one can get him. Bites hands when I reach in to get him.
Dog steals a kids book, then hides under the kids bed to chew it up. Bites my hands when I try to save the book.
I pick up the dog leash for a walk, or tell him to get in his kennel, then he hides under the table. I go get him so he knows running and hiding “won’t work” and he’ll still have to do what I asked, then he bites my hands when I try to get him out.
Again I don’t really blame him, because if someone was trying to chase me and force me to do something against my will, I wouldn’t take it lying down. But as he’s pretty much out of the teenage/puppy stage, I’d love to know wha I’m doing wrong here.
