| snickers started biting/nipping at 12wks and has been steadily doing it since... but we are working on it my vet yesterday (who has a terrier) said that terriers in general are a mouthy breed but v easily trained and not typically aggressive - i guess we just hafta establish ourselves as the "alpha dog" holding them on their back and getting them to calm down and let you do it puts them in a submissive position and grabbing the muzzle firmly and sat "no bite" then hold ur hand out and say "kisses" and if/when she kisses you reward her like crazy i havent tried this myself so no guarentees but something to try good luck |

| Gucci used to be a biter when she was a puppy. I think all terriers are. You can put bitter apple in your hands. Tell her NO biting and give her a toy to chew instead and ignore her. I hope this work for you. Good luck. |

| I bought Dezi home at 8 weeks and she started biting immediately, she is 14 weeks and she bites even harder. I stop playing with her and ignore her and then she stops. |

| With Reggie, when he would bite me too hard, I would holler "ouch" very loudly which startled him and made him stop and then I would give him a toy or just ignore him. If you decide to make him submissive, be careful you don't end up in a wrestling match with him. There are ways to teach them to be submissive. I found it on a website. I'll try to find it again and post it here for you. Good luck with your beautiful baby!
