He no longer nips at me, and even lets me put my hand in his mouth when I have to look at his teeth. My kids and husband, who did not do this as I did, still have him playing too rough with them on occasion. I think, Google thinks that Mommy has really sensitive skin and his teeth can't touch her skin or she gets hurt, but EVERYONE ELSE is OK to nip at!  |
This is why it's really important to train the whole family to train the dog. They need to learn it's not okay to nip at anyone.
