Consistency is a huge thing. I also think that you should not use your hands to play with them so much...I try to have a toy in my hand when we are playing rough so the puppy can chew on that without biting me. I do the lip thing too. Not too hard, but hard enough to teach them, and saying NO BITE is good, as they learn that phrase and soon you won't have to do the lip thing. You'll be able to just say no bite, when they start to get too excited and rough.
Congratulations on your new puppy! They are so much fun! Happy New year. |
I agree - it's a puppy thing and something they have to be trained not to do.
