I got my first yorkie too young and had to teach her bite inhibition. When she would go to bite me, I would calmly say in a stern voice "No Bite, Get A Toy" and then direct her towards her toy basket. I then would refuse to give her any attention until she got a toy to play with me. I would keep repeating, "Get A Toy." It took a little reinforcement, but I found this worked very well. She quickly learned, if she wants to play with me, toys are what we play with - NOT hands. |
