I have the same problem with Scrappy!
It's really bad with my kids... they think it is funny to tease him with their feet, but then he starts to really nip at them and they get all upset. (No one has actually been hurt or anything.)
I was also thinking about trying the can thing - a can filled with rocks or coins that you shake at the pup whenever they display bad behavior (normally used for barkers I think?). But I'm afraid it would be hard to have in the right place at the right time...
As for myself, when I am playing with Scrappy with toys - sometimes he'll get me on the hand. Whenever he does - I tap him on the nose and tell him NO! OW! No biting! So he doesn't bite at me much any more... he'll have his teeth almost touching my skin, then he'll pull away by himself. I don't want to teach my kids to do this though, because I'm afraid they will be too vigorous in their nose-tapping!
Good luck, let us know if you find something that works really well! |
