Sadie likes to run up and jump really fast at my face and sometimes will gum me, she has no sharp teeth yet. I don't want her to be doing that because someday she will have sharp teeth and it could be my 4 yr. old niece's face not mine. When she does it, i pick her up, look her in the eye and say NO, GENTLE! She likes to chew on me and my fingers and toes and i pull them away and say GENTLE and give her a toy instead, but she's back in seconds at me again. she gets hyper and plays, but i hate the jump-attacks.
what can i do to continue to discourage this behavior. |
Maxi does this to me all the time. I think he is teething really bad though. I bought him one of those chilly bones for small dogs.. I put it in the freezzer last night and I was going to give it to him today. i will let you know if it calms his bitting
