His teeth feel like needles! He, however, does not know that and must be taught not to chew on me. I firmly tell him no and put him on the floor at my feet. Mother dogs will nip and growl at puppies in the same manner in order to teach them not to 'teeth' on her. Since we are their new mothers it is our job to teach them what is and is not appropriate behavior.
I always redirect him to one of his toys to teach him what he can chew on. He still makes mistakes but my hands do not bear any scars thankfully, lol. |
No is not in his vocabulary. When put on the floor he then goes for my feet. I have to wear house shoes or socks at all times. As his new mother, I have found that growling at him and biting him back are not effective, LOL... My teeth aren't quite as sharp.
