 Biting...
I'm just about at the end of my rope here and I'm hoping someone can help...
My Yorkie is 5 months old and will NOT stop biting. She bites everyone's hands and feet, my clothes, my sheets, towels...everything that she can jump up high enough to reach.
I've tried telling her "No" firmly, yelling "No," holding her mouth closed firmly while saying "No," yelping like I was hurt (that one was pretty embarrassing for the week or so I was trying it)...I even tried the "no-biting" spray they sell at Petco. Nothing works.
She's otherwise a very good dog...almost no barking, no growling, and no real housetraining issues, so this one thing is especially upsetting. It's getting to the point where my nephews are afraid of the "three-pound terror" and I know she thinks she's playing but it really does hurt. I'm concerned about bringing her around other dogs who might not appreciate the biting and may really hurt her in return. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |
