You’ve just acquired a beagle, and can’t wait to bring him home to show the children.
Once home, the children begin playing with him and running around the house. Suddenly you hear a scream. The beagle has bitten one of your children.
Once the panic is over and you’ve determined your child is okay; it is time to sit down and determine why this beagle, whose breed poses no threat to children, would bite your child. Let’s discuss how to stop the dog from biting again.
As mentioned earlier, certain breed of dogs are wonderful pets for children; beagles are no exception. However, there are times when erratic behavior can pose a threat to your children. Determine if this particular incident was a one time occurrence, especially if the beagle was retrieved from an animal shelter. Contact them and ask if similar biting incidences have occurred. If not, the reason behind it needs further exploration.
It is common knowledge that dogs usually bite for a reason. To stop the dog from biting may require you to question the children and find out what was going on when the incident occurred. Perhaps in their enthusiasm in having a new pet, one of children pulled on the dog’s tail, or unintentionally scared the dog. There could be a number of reasons. It is up to you to find the real answer.
Conversely, if the beagle you just brought home is a puppy, and took a nip out of one of your children, it is incumbent upon you to begin training to stop the dog from biting. As with other unwanted behaviors in dogs, it is important to establish dominance over the dog.
You, as the owner, must become the pack leader. You need to be the alpha dog. This is critical when any new dog enters a home and immediately tries to dominate it. Once your role is clearly established, your dog will understand the boundaries you have set and abide by them.
To stop the dog from biting takes time, effort, and patience. You must be consistent in your commands, and reward the dog for good behavior as well. In addition, you need to educate your children on the proper way to handle, play, and interact with their new pet. Once everyone knows the rules of engagement, you will all be able to enjoy every aspect of owning this wonderful breed of dog.

stop touching birds that bite. let them come out of the cage on their own. be careful to read body language to prevent bites. parrots eyes usually ‘pin’ just before they strike. that means their iris starts shrinking REALLY quick.
all parrots are aggressive and unpredictable when sexually frustrated. be careful and you” save your fingers..

they are a couple now—and they in a way, don’t need to be nice to you anymore–when you put two birds together- they bond-and they then need less human contact-like 99 percent less than when there was just one of them–plus the fact that it’s mating season–I have only one for that reason. I would suggest giving the both of them their "treats" outside the cage and make them eat it from your hand or they don’t get it—and stand by that decision. If you feed them treats even though they are snapping at you, you will be dominated by their behavior rather than the other way around…..just like kids, they need discipline……….try it……..and don’t be surprised if they go a few days without their tasty treats.

David you got a mess on your hands blood maybe too, if you think you can stop this situation. Parrots bond to one person, yet they can rebond-you got another parrot they have bonded and the male is protective. When mating season is over-the situation may well change-if you want babies keep em together. and give them a sanctuary secluded for their eggs.
otherwise separate them-the female will continue or learn to bond with you again, the male may not-but at least you got one to touch.
and get in touch with a deaper relationship=someone shared the answer with me=
this helped me as raised a Jew to see the deaper truths to believe too=Christian means a follower of the Messiah-who came as a Jew- the believer in Jesus-has power over the mind to control their thoughts, thus when Jesus says to forgive and let Me handle it, or about lust is adultry against God, or hate is murder in the heart, we have the calling to cast down all imaginations that exault themselves against God which brings true peace and joy to our heart in all situations (Philippians 4:4-20).
My Jewish people believe in the comming of a Messiah, and his fulfillment is in Jesus. The laws of Judaism were given specifically to the Jewish people to be kept and to guide them to the promised Messiah.
Isaiah 9:6 the child to be the Son given, the mighty God and the prince of peace..
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 To be the exalted one. To first be marred more than any man, and to lay down his life to make atonement for our sins.
The way I came to know him is by believing what he spoke to us from heaven (Revelation1:1 chapter 1 verse 1 & 3:19&20 "I love you and ask you to repent of your sins (even one lie) quickly. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock If you hear my word and open the door, I will come in and be your friend."
so I prayed "Jesus I am sorry for my sins, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, amen."
Its all good and now as a Jew who has come to know Jesus is my Messiah, savior, and best friend giving me joy beyond words and power to live right. And someone said this for me telling them this too
Praying the best for you in every way, David

the website helped me train my bird not to bite me
I have a male & female Green Cheek. I had the male first and we were at "war" for a while but now we get along very well & he treats me like his best friend.
At this point your male probably considers you a rival for the female’s attention. I would suggest letting him have his space for now. Eventually he’ll come to you because Green Cheeks love attention. There are several things that I do with my female that the male won’t allow. For example, I can grab her & put her back in the cage anytime without much of a fight but the male will chew my hand up if I attempt to grab him. We can usually pet the female on the head but the male doesn’t usually like to be touched. This may sound crazy but my male bird understands basic commands and explanations. For example, when I tell him he has to "go sit down" it means he has to go back to the cage. If he doesn’t want to go back in I can often get him to agree to go without a fight if I explain why. For example, he knows what it means when I say that I have to "go outside" or "go to sleep" or that he needs to go to sleep. At this point the female is the one that I have trouble with. She seems to be learning the commands based on his reactions to them but even if she’s dead tired she doesn’t like to go to sleep in the cage. She also is too curious for her own good as she doesn’t seem to be afraid of fire whereas the male knows to stay away.
Anyway, my best advice is to be patient and let him teach you what he’ll let you do with him. They say they’re easier to tame if their wings are kept clipped but mine are both flyers and prefer to be on my shoulder to anywhere else (the female prefers my wife’s shoulder). They’re also easy to bribe with food ; )
