I never hit Baxter. I agree that that will only cause aggression and I don't want to teach him bad things. The only trouble I'm having right now is him biting my fingers, ears, and hair. He likes to lay on my pillow in the bed, and chew on my hair. I don't mind him biting my hair, but then he'll find my ear and start nibbling at it. Sometimes he bites it too hard and that's when I get mad.
I guess I should not let him do any of this, and that's what I've been doing lately. If he starts biting my fingers I say 'No Biting' and then get him a chew toy. It seems to be working, but occasionally he will revert back to biting my fingers. Any suggestions or input? |
I did what you are doing with Joey, and since they are teething he continued to occationally bite. Those little puppy teeth are sharp, and I read that you should just take your hand and push it further into their mouth and say "no." You are trying to acomplish a
slight gag reflex. This was all it took, he never bit again.
