 Nipping/Biting
I just started puppy classes with Lexi who is 14 weeks. I they told us last week that nipping and biting was very common and the best way to stop it is when she nips you "arf" loudly at her. I have tried this and it does work. You have to be consistent with it. I also tell her no just after the "arf" so she gets no.
Be sure when you "arf" it is loud and high. It has worked with Lexi who was nipping me constantly. Also, do not play with her or let anyone else play with her in a fashion that encourages her to nip. It's confusing and sends the wrong signals. |
