Nip IT in THE Budd A.S.A.P !! Leave no if and or but's about it, if you let her get away with it, it is so much harder to break the habit.

This is how I stopped mine from mouthing/biting.

1.Quick correction "AHH AHH" and "NO BITE" or "Be NICE" and give them a toy !

After the first correction if it continues ...

2. I wrap my hand around their mussel (not tight) but just enough to get control of them. Than a light Tap (not to hard) just enough to get their attention. Right on the front of the nose/mouth area. "AHH AHH" and "NO BITE" or "Be NICE" and give them a toy!

You will need to be Quick and Consistant and in a short amount of time they get it !! On to the next problem...Now whats next?
