| My new puppy is now a little over 16 weeks and we're definitely not done with the biting stage yet (as I type she's jumping trying to bite my socks), but it has gotten better. You'll probably find lots of helpful posts in this thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/tra...47-biting.html

| Sweet Pea is about 19wks and is still "biting" I have tried, time out, bitter spray, yelping, saying no, clear deoderant and nothing is working. We go to puppy classes in a few weeks so i hope i can get some more ideas.

♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | From the off with Tia (13 wks) we used the word OW when she mouthed our fingers and she soon stopped. Even now if we are playing tug of war and she accidentally catches my fingers I say it and she comes and licks me as if to say sorry. Its so cute.

| You can also put your hand in a fist when they bite your fingers and tell them no. I saw this on dog whisper. |

| How old is too old for puppy classes? Toby was due to start puppy socialisation classes a few weeks ago, but there still isnt enough people enrolled. When I enquired about Millie last year at 20 weeks, the lady said she was too old, and just put her straight onto the obedience class. The lady told me 12- 15 weeks is the best time. Toby is now 16 weeks, will be 17 weeks if they start next week. He loves other dogs, but is really boisterous and playful, so it would be good to get him in a room with those of similar age/energy. Do you think he is getting too old for them?

| There are so many great toys out there for his teeth! I have never had an issue with my two with their teeth, but I provided lots of toys. There are puppy Kongs- which are soft enough for them to chew and helps their teeth. I also use Nylabones- they love these ones still. Try not to play with him with your hands, if starts pick up a toy and let him chew that instead. Good luck.

| Hehe .... the little ones are genuinely surprised when you Yelp! or say Ow! I love the look they get on their faces ... like what happened But what you do after that is what will determine if they will do it again Once you have yelled out because they bit you You need to take away all stimulation That means you and your chew toy fingers take a walk and leave the puppy there

YT 1000 Club Member | I forgot all about those days of being bitten on my toes. I can't even get Roxie to play bite. I can seriously put my finger or hand in her mouth playfully and she'll only lick me. I can't even really remember how I broke her of it. Other then touching her nose with my index finger and giving a firm "no bite" and remove myself from the situation. Good luck, pretty soon you'll be like me and can't remember it.
