 Replace your fingers
with something else. Garrett was a nipper, loves to bite on your hands, I started giving him something else that was acceptable for him to chew on, a ball, rubber bone, one of his stuffed animals, and would also always say no to him when he tried to chew on my fingers, took a couple of weeks, but now he just brings me his toys so that I play with him, no more biting my hands. The pee pad thing for me was easy, I always have a pee pad available, so Garrett can use them if I don't get him out or if I am gone. One thing I did do at the beginning was at first he would not use the pee pad, so I used newspaper which he was trained to use by the breeder, then I gradually moved the pee pad in, first with the paper under and around it, then I reduced the amount of newspaper until there was like an inch around the pad all the way around. FInally got rid of the paper and he was trained. |
