I think everyone has to experiment with different things to find what will work for them. Personally, I would never ever squirt my dogs in the face, nor would I throw anything at them or in their direction unless we were playing fetchie fetchie. I agree with Kristen about removing the body part that was being bitten. I would tell my kids easy and if they continued to bite too hard (which they would when really young) I would simply get up and walk away for a few minutes.
Lollie and Lacie came home at about 12 weeks and Spicy was born at the house. They all teethed on my hands and Spicy, at 7 months has learned to control the amount of pressure when she "bites" during play and still finds security in nibbling on my fingers. |
