 Training not to nip
Sorry you are having a tough time. The thing that works best with any dog, for any reason, is firm commands. In other words, when your dog nips at you, say "No bite" loudly and firmly, then leave him/her alone for like 2 minutes. Keep repeating the action, every time.
Our 3.5 year old rescued Yorkie has issues with barking and at times, growling and snapping at people outside the family unit. Firm commands to snap him out of that state of mind seem to work. My yelling and getting uptight only increase Mojo's behavior. So I firmly and calmly correct him every time. |
