The thrid would be a can with a few coins in it when she starts shake the can the noise will divert her attention. Any of these should work, but none is a quick fix and will require consitancy on your part it could take a few weeks, you might find theat she is good for a few days and then goes back to her old ways the key is your willingness to continue with these exercises. Good Luck I hope this helps |
I think these are great ideas. Bonnie (almost 6 mos) is also a biter. I am constantly saying "No Bite Bonnie", but it doesn't seem to help.
She was biting my toes when I was getting ready for work so I started wetting my hand and sprinkling her with water. Now all I have to do is turn on the facet. LOL
I am thinking about using a water bottle for her other biting. I have tried saying "no" and turning away. She could care less. Sometimes I try to distract her by saying "go get your chicken (bully, baby, etc) and playing fetch, which she loves. I try to walk with her and wear her out also
When she is in my lap biting, I tell her "no bite" and try to make her get off my lap. It just makes her more aggressive towards me. (trying to chew my clothes, tear the buttons off my clothes, dig on me, jump in my face) I have to just leave the room when she gets so rowdy. I think she may be over-stimulated by too much rowdy play.
Any suggestions out there?
