I also make hand gestures (like a mouth gently or barely biting back) at her while she's trying to bit me. I also go slow, gentle and easy when handling her so as to not get her too excitable. So far I'm very lucky that she's taken the hint. But that could change at anytime ^^;; |
I am no expert but I have been raising dogs for 12 years and before that as a young adult and child in my parents home and this is just something that is unheard of in the world of training. This to me is the worse thing that anyone could ever do. I fell that biting should never ever be allowed. By you allowing her to bite/gnaw on you, you are reinforcing the behavior and I fear that it is going to cause some major issues in the future.
