I am in college as well so I know the stressed out feeling. Jack loves to chew and bite fingers too and here are a few things that have worked for me, and I've tried tons! If he is not being too aggressive with the chewing but is chewing my fingers, I give him a toy or a bone to chew on. This may sound a little silly but whenever he gets too aggressive with the finger chewing (i.e. growling when i move my hand or attempting to shake my hand between his teeth) I hold him on his back, get in his face and growl. I have tried everything but this is the only thing that has really worked with him because it sends a clear message, I am bigger than you and I get angry when you do that. Also, dogs need attention so give him some! I've noticed the more time I spend with him, the less he misbehaves. Also, going for walks and getting plenty of exercise really helps get out some of the puppy energy. |
