I'll try the bitter apple spray on my feet and when she bites i'll give her a sprits of water and say NO,if she continues i'll put her in time out(her pen). i never try the water technique before so i'll stick with this one and be consistent for as long as it takes. I have a feeling she's bored lately(not sure if this is contributing to it or not), i made the mistake of keeping her toys in her pen all the time so now she doesnt have much interest in playing with them when i let her out she'd rather play with me(nipping me) or explore the house lol. I'll be heading out today to buy her a bunch of new toys & chews  . I was petting her lastnight before bed and she was just laying there looking at me, licking my hand as if to say "be patient with me"..now i know i could never give her away to anyone.
I'll keep you all posted and thanks again i don't know where i'd be if i didn't join this site  |
Glad to hear it! They're not all evil, only when the terrier in them takes over.
