Set him down, and walk away. Instantly  , consistently , and without further address ! |
i used to own a dachshund and it worked for him as a puppy. And i used to say to him "biting is for bad boys and kissing is for good boys" and he would actually listen and kiss lol. I tried it with the yorkie and he is starting to understand the phrase a bit. but he gets into these moods. Like for example, we went to the vet today and i was holding him and because he did not like where he was facing (me) he started to growl and nip my hands (to face the doctor). i was told by the groomer that he did this to her as well. Some people told me to give him a tap on the nose, but i can not bring myself to do that.
