When pup nips, say, "Ow!" in a voice loud enough to startle it. Make the pitch lower if your exclamation seems to provoke more nipping. Give the pup love when the nips stop. Another method is to gently push your fingers farther into the pup's mouth when it nips. It will not like this sensation and quickly associates nipping with an unpleasant feeling.
I found this hope it helps I am going to try it  let me know how it goes... |
I think that is why my hubby does not get bitten as much, he puts this very deep voice and tells him to stop and he does, whether he is barking for no reason and if he is nipping him. Me on the other hand can not improve that deep voice yet. At times he will see that I am not happy and he will just stop, but he is a puppy so I know he will out grow it.
