You don't really pull them but guide the puppy in. YOU are moving too, backwards and the puppy if following you. As the puppy comes towards you, you gather up the leash till the puppy to you. So not pulling, but guiding, gathering and encouraging.

As for puppy Kindergarten. Is that generally expensive? I can afford a bit but if its around the ballpark of 500+ then I probably won't be able to.
500 what? Dollars, heavens NO! Usually around $100 or hopefully less for a 6-8 week course.

I think trying bitter apple might work but I don't want him to fear or think my hands are nasty tasting. I want him to just stop biting in general. But I guess that will have to wait. I also heard pepper sauce on the skin would cause him not to bite after he tastes the spice.
Like with Bitter Apple it's still the taste. Bitter apple won't burn his tounge though and pepper sauce might.
