When she bites you, tell her no. If she does it the second time then walk away from her and ignore her, or put her in a short time out. You want her to know that when she bites, even when playing, that it is not acceptable and that you won't have anything to do with her when she bites. Since she wants to play with you and be with you she will realize that she has to stop biting in order to be with you or for you to play with her. This might sound crazy but when my pups went through that stage, I would yelp or go yipe in a high tone like a puppy that got hurt and would walk away. Now if their teeth barely got me I would just yelp. It worked alot better than just saying no. When puppies play they are testing out their skills and strength and when a puppy yelps then the other puppy knows to back off and that it was too rough and if it wants to continue playing with the other puppy it has to be more gentle. All of my dogs have been trained this way and it works excellent. |
