 Clever little devil
I have similar issues with Charlie. He always wants to be chewing on my fingers and i'll tell him to stop, give him a different toy, whatever but it doesn't work. I've recently started tapping him on the nose with that "no" command and he almost always, stops... then lunges at me like it's a game. I'm not really sure what to do. Other times, he'll seem like he's "playing with his toy" right in front of me, but every couple seconds he'll reach over and nip at me really quick, like it was a mistake. But it's not. He's so mischevious... I'm just not sure to handle it... and those of you that can pick up your pups and they calm down, GOD BLESS YOU! But Charlie turns into a little tornado when you're holding him and he'd rather be playing. It's dangerous to even hold him when he's like that because he's totally unafraid of taking a flying leap out of your arms.
I want him to learn to play "nicely" but so far it seems like "all or nothing" with him, and i'm not sure how to train him any differently.
advice?
