Also, her biting is beginning to translate onto people. She playbites me sometimes but I worry about her biting more frail family members.. even if she's small- anything with teeth can do some harm if they chose to bite-- even if its playfully.
Wanting to get rid of that. Anytime she does it to me I just make that shhht sound (a quick, random, a tad loud) and it startles her a bit(catches her off guard for whatever reason) and she stops doing it. I also heard that if and when you are being bitten by them you should say ouch in a convincing pained way, or yelp-- and it sends them a message that they're being too rough and potentially hurting you. Not sure about the authenticity of the last one. Just remember my brother telling me a while back. |
