All my pups have gone through this stage (teething) and wanting to chew on me constantly. But - I have never allowed it. I know it's hard to keep them from doing it - but it is temporary - and I won the war.
I would feed them - throw them toys - sit on the sofa and cover myself with a blanket so they couldn't get to me - and distract them in everyway possible. It was a lot of constant work for a while - but before long, they quit and were off to do other things.
Puppy bites (sharp little teeth) hurt a lot - don't you agree! And - there just is no way I'm going to let a cute little dog chew on me....or anyone else.
And - this certainly isn't an act of aggression when they are teething. They're teeth are bother time and chewing helps their teeth come through and helps them feel better.
Good luck! Carol Jean |
