When we brought Mia home at 8 weeks she was perfect the first couple days. Then she started play biting which got pretty annoying. She'd jump in our face and nip at us...she'd bite at our fingers and clothes. I immediately taught her to use a chew toy instead and always redirected her to chew it instead of my hands. Then I taught her the "kiss" command. So now she doesn't even try to bite our faces, she just kisses the heck out of them! I would also recommend using coconut oil on your skin. Sounds weird if you haven't heard about the coconut oil craze. But dogs love coconut oil. If you have it on your skin, they will automatically lick you instead of bite. That's what Mia does! Her biting has gone down tremendously! She doesn't even chew on furniture anymore! She just turned 5 months and the biting stopped when she was about 14 weeks probably. Hope that helps. Google coconut oil if you want to know more about it! It's amazing!
