| How do I stop the hand chewing?? I guess I jinxed myself by naming my dog Chewie...lol! How do I get him to stop chewing on my hands?? I tried yelping when he did it which worked for a while, now it doesn't phase him. Also, the face nipping is getting irritating becasuse now he's barking when he jumps up in my face. Anyone know a trick to resolve this?

| Bella is an anything chewer. If she can get your hands, she nibbles on them, or your ears, or your hands, your ribs, and even the ankles. She only does it when she's really hyper and wants to play though so I started using Bitter Apple with Bitter Yuck and so far that has helped ALOT. The ignoring didn't work so well because she would just play with something else and then when I would come back around 30 minutes later it would start all over again. |

| Well, looks the bitter stuff is going to be the next step. I accidently got a tiny bit on my hands once and then touched my lip or something. It took forever for that taste to go away, lol! Lets just hope I don't do it again. I'll letcha know how it works

| lol sorry that made me laugh. Try yelping louder. I yelped really loud when my pup bite me and say no in a firm voice. Then give him a toy he can chew on. If that still doesn't work try putting bitter apple on your hands, you can get it from your local pet stores. Bitter apple didn't work for my pup so I had to use Tabasco sauce on my furniture and electric cords. Good luck!!

| might try a clicker. click when chewie chews and treat him when he stops chewing when he hears the click. It really worked with Emma and her barking at her friends |

| Sorry Bitter Apple doesn't work for Chewie. it didn't work with Meeko either, he loved it! He didn't like tobasco tho. You could try that. The second Meeko sniffed it, he left me alone. Someone also suggested to me to rub a lemon on my hands. I didn't have to try the lemon, so I don't know if it works. Just a few more suggestions. Good luck!
