Most of them grow out of it but you have to stay firm on not allowing biting or chewing. I just made sure that Roxie had her own toy box full of lotsssss of toys and chewies. Whenever she'd go to something she shouldn't she'd get a firm no and then I'd hand her a toy of her own. For biting...some might not agree with this...but a light flick on the nose and a firm "no bite" command works well. Or you can hide your hands and say no biting. The ignoring technique works well too. Funny thing is once they learn not to do it it's amazing how soon we forget they even went through that phase!! |
