I also read about sticking your fingers in their mouth somewhere in YorkieTalk and I tried it as well. Jack is 6 months old and has times during the day where he is rambunctious and wants to play. He would try and nip at our hands and feet. Next time he did it, I pushed down on his tongue with my finger and said 'no biting' in a very stern voice. He stopped immediately and didn't try it again for days. A few days later he nipped at me I tried to put my finger in his mouth and he stopped right away. Seems to have worked like a charm. Now we just have to give the 'no biting' command but he rarely ever attempts it. Thanks to whoever did the original post with the suggestion!
