I was so happy to read your post. I am almost beside myself with Tucker today. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore him but I am just so frustrated! Most often he is sweet, cuddly and playful but lately he has been having these fits of hyperactivity that include biting, not just nipping or mouthing, but biting that really hurts! He goes for my toes alot or other really sensitive areas like my love handles and the skin between my thumb and forefinger...I even have bruises. I've been firmly saying, "No biting" and tapping him on the side and then redirecting him to an appropriate activity but he won't stop...he just keeps coming. I've now left him two or three times in a row after the reprimanding so he knows I mean business but it's really difficult. I am almost in tears. I guess I will have to get the bitter apple spray and hope that it works. |
