1st if she lunges while playing, play time is over. Tell her no and stop playing and go do something else. The trick is to do this every single time, 100 times if need be. Also when you are playing on the floor use toys. Have her chase the toy, catch the toy, play tug with the toy ect. not your hands or face.
2nd carry around a toy in your pocket at all times and as soon as she tries to chew on your hand say no put your hand were she can't get it and when she stops trying to get it, give her the toy to chew on and tell her good girl when she takes it.
If she catches you when you don't have a toy you can hold on to her mouth when she starts to chew your hand. Be careful not to hurt her. The idea is she won't like her bottom jaw stuck in your hand and start to think if I try to chew her hand my mouth will get stuck! When she starts struggling to get away let her go. You will have to do this over and over again too. That is really the trick, being willing to do things over and over every time the bad behavior is happening and giving her something else that is appropriate to do. |
