Can you shed some light on what you've tried and when your dog is biting you and your family members the most? Maybe some posters have some other helpful ideas you can try. Zoey nips a lot - playful nipping but it can hurt and sometimes does, and I've tried a TON of things to get her to stop. I notice though she is calmer and doesn't bite as much if she is walked more often and will stop when I grab her muzzle with my hand and slap my hand down on top of the hand holding her muzzle - I then grab her and put her in the bathroom with the door locked for a few minutes and it seems to settle her down for a while. I don't know if she'll ever be a non nipping playful dog though. I think maybe her mother didn't stay with her long enough even though I got her at 12 weeks of age or teach her not to nip.. |
