It's quite normal for a BT in my opinion (I have a 12 month old)and I remember those times well.simetimes you think that they are never gonna get it,but they do.the key is consistency .i found that a loud NO and a time out worked,eventually.it takes time and BT s push it that bit more than the average pup but he will get it.i found a big improvement at about 4/5 months.but honestly consistency is key.never let him get away with it,not even once.at one point I felt like my pup spent most of the day in time out but it does get better
I too have a mini that's 19 wks old and he still bites. I tried everything... clamping his mouth shut with my hand and pinning him, yelling "NO", making a fist so he can't clamp on and a host of other approaches but to no avail. He is however, not biting as hard as before :-??.
Big Yell "NO", pin to the ground, whack on the butt every now and then, no love or treats for 10 minutes, repeat, repeat, repeat.... 4/5 weeks it'll be over.... And if there is someone in the family that loves to wrestle with him ... No, No.... Wrestling' s for dogs... It'll only encourage more biting.... Once he stops the biting, then the humans can wrestle... If they can!
In the beginning God created English Bull Terriers, in the image of EBT's, God created all other breeds.
^ Ditto @philsergeant comments. Oh, the good old adolescent stages of a Bull Terrier. I wish I had a dollar for every comment and concern in regard to a young Bull Terrier that showed aggression or dominance from the ages of 3 months to 12 months. nipping, growling, and showing dominance is something that needs to be kept in check with strict discipline. On a good note they will grow out of this stage just like @alexa explained. They are little devils when they are young for sure.
