Ok, so thats what I call Kyo anyway, my cute beast.
So anyway, can anyone recommend something (a spray or behavior) or anything really so that we can get Kyo to stop biting Angel so hard? He actually makes her bleed sometimes and its driving us nuts! I mean aside from the obvious worry, we can't afford to be taking Angel to the vet all the time because Kyo bit her too hard again, you know? I know that No Dig spray we bought didn't work for crap, so does anyone know of some other spray we could use on Angel to deter Kyo from biting her?

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.

Sprays can add new problems, including making your dog develop a fear of spray bottles. Not something I ever want to do. Your best bet is not to leave the two alone together, and to call the male to you whenever he starts to get too rough. If necessary until his training to come is reliable, have him drag a leash when you are supervising. And he won't be with her when you are not supervising, so the bases will all be covered.
