I have Oliver for only 5 days now and he's the most quiet and chill 16 months old pup. One of the bad habits he has is biting. When I come home from work, he would jump on me and start nipping my hands and face. Even though it doesn't hurt, every time he does it I tell him "no teeth" "no biting" and "kisses only". If he ignores the command and continue, I would leave him alone for a few minutes.l so he knows I don't approve that behavior. If he give me kisses (aka only licking) then I would tell him "good boy" and "I love you too" and pet him. Too bad I haven't found a treat he loves yet or else I would give him a treat too. So far he has shown sign of improvement, less biting and when he does, he respond to my "no teeth" faster. But of course he's too excited to to see me to even her what I say, haha. |
