Be sure to tell her "Good Girl" when she is not biting, or when she stops for a few seconds. If they don't know what you want, they won't know to do it. So when she stops for a second, reward and praise her, then make her wait a bit longer the next time, etc. |
This is good advice!! Miles has been biting as well. His biting is mostly when we play catch when he tries to give me the ball back (I think) but gets distracted with chewing on the ball and me trying to get the ball from him to throw for him to fetch again (my fingers get in the way). I did scream "OWWWW..." and he did "ask" to get in my lap to cuddle with me after for a minute. And Miles loves tug-of-war!!! I bought him a TOW toy and he likes to play TOW with his fetch balls lol. UGGHHH.
Thanks for this!!!
