When you get a new puppy and it starts biting then you have to ask yourself "what would the momma dog do?". Momma dogs snap and growl at their babies to keep them in line, they may also grab them by the neck and hold them down briefly. An occasional nip I just ignore but when they start biting hard enough to cause pain I just gently but firmly grab the scuff of their neck and firmly say 'No'. If they come back again repeat the action. You may have to even hold them down briefly so they know you mean business. |
