Suzi is now over a yr old and still play bites, however, now she sometimes does it and it hurts
What I've done is quickly give her one of her toys, or a bully stick, I distract her from biting on me . I will not allow her to bit my hands, fingers , or feet. She growls and it is not a game . I would suggest you or to anybody who has a little bitter to start working on this behavior now, than later . I've alo seen trainers on T.V work with biting dogs b y making a high pitched sound as soon as the pup bites .This teaches the pup not to bite, and that the pup has hurt u. In the litter the pups learn by playing with each other, and when one does hurt each other they let out a squeal letting the other know it hurt. When puppy is separated too young from it's littermates it does not learn social skills , and can be more of a biter . 12 weeks is reccomended for Yorkies puppies, however many pups are sold at a younger age. Sometimes behavior issues arise , and this is one of them. But, with propper training it can be corrected.
