I second LaPeque's use of "yelping". Zoe can really get into playing with her toys with me and will shift from nawing on the toy to my finger. One or two high pitched yelps like what a puppy would do if he/she was nipped gets her to stop immediately. She stands back for a second and evaluates what is going on then goes back to the toy. If she does it again during our game session, I yelp again and simply get up and end the game for awhile. I don't say anything just use the noise and then avoidance for a period of time. It has ended just about all nipping except the "overly excited and forgot to distinguish between the end of the toy and the start of my fingers" nipping. |
