My kids and I both are tired of being chewed on! Especially when I'm grooming her she chews my fingers. So this is what I did today. I put on latex gloves and sprayed bitter apple on my hands and the end of her comb and suprisingly she was "almost perfect" for her brushing today. Then I also had my son put on some latex gloves with the bitter apple and sit on the floor to play with her. It was so much better! She played fetch and tug of war and let him rub her belly but she kept her mouth off his hands. I think I will keep doing this until she just learns not to go after our hands. We also try to always have a toy in our hand to block our fingers! I wish I could figure out a way to keep her from biting my nose however....
My dog chews on the chair legs, wires, shoes, etc.,etc so I set up a pen within my kitchen that I place her in when I can't watch her with her crate and a puppy pad.
