Anyway, the thing that is a lifesaver for my poor little hands, fingers, and toes is bitter spray! When he gets super excited, I spray some on my hands and after one taste- he learns his lesson. The only downside is that the bitter spray doesn't last very long. It dries up on my hands so after about 15 minutes, Wall-E is back to biting me! I heard that the squirt bottle thing is really effective though. I haven't tried it yet, but I hear other YT members use this method and its been effective.
Good luck! If there are other useful anti-biting tips, I could use some too! |
When you say NO you HAVE to mean it. Yell at them like it's a life or death situation until they understand the meaning of the word. My mom went to puppy school and they actually made every owner scream NO until they sounded mean enough - and boy did it work!
