has anyone tried this or seen that it worked? or heard/know anything bad about it?
If you are going to use it you need to make sure you teach what you want once you get the behaviour you do not want stopped.
So once the teeth come off you you need to tell him good boy no bite and pass him a toy to chew.

It better not to just stop it without replacing it with what you do want.

I prefer teaching to bite gentle and wean them off biting and bite control instead but no bite will work.
