Walking the driveway
Need some advice on the best way to start with step up training and not biting my hand!
Right now it's really difficult to get him back in his cage at bed time or if we need to run out because when you offer your hand for step up he tries to bite you and his bites are pretty good and will draw blood but if you offer your arm he looks at you like " wtf is that" . I tried to offer him a perch I was holding, but anytime he sees a stick/perch on your hand he hightails it out of there to the back corner uptop where it's hard to get him. His behaviour to the perches in hand almost makes me think he was abused with them, or he related relates it to something negative.
I'm hoping that once we can get the step up going , it may be easier for us to build a little better bond, not to mention I don't want to keep on getting bitten.
I'm a little overwhelmed because I don't want him to hate me, I want to work on having a good relationship, whatever that may look like for him and i, but I don't want to keep being scared he's going to bite me Everytime because then that's going to make him actually bite me !
Any help and advice would be great!
( Anything on screaming would help to lol )
