You have to prove to your dog that you’re the leader so he knows to follow your commands. Dogs that don’t understand human behavior can bite even if not provoked.

TIP! Use your dog’s name when you can, as it will help to get your dog to pay attention. Over time and repetition, the dog will begin to understand their name and that they are being spoken to.
