My Chihuahua girl is exactly the same, but it is y hubby and not me that she play bites. She's 2.5 years old and it's getting beyond a joke now...

I just put it down to the rough way my hubby plays with her, as I never play roughly and in a 'bitey' sort of way with her and he does. When I get my Yorkie bubba in a couple of weeks I will not allow my hubby to play like this with her as I do not want a second 'bitey' dog. I think taking your hand away and ignoring the baby should help with the matter. If they get no reaction from you then they'll soon stop. Or that's my theory anyway!

Good luck, hope it helps! Let us know how you get on?
