No problem. I found out about BITTER APPLE thru YorkieTalk as well :cool: :yorkietal |
Rocky I just joined Yorkie Talk because I am the proud & happy :) owner of my little Rocky........Thank God I have you all. Rocky is 10 weeks old, and the biting is a constant thing. I will try the bitter apple. Thanks!!!!! |
I have a sollution!!! :D Missy did the same thing to me when she was a baby, they are playing but they are also teething so biting on fingers and toes feels so good to their teeth and gums. Give them a baby carrot to chew on, it will feel so good to their teeth and they will love the taste. When ever Missy would start in on biting me I would give her a baby carrot, after eating the carrot if she continued to bite me I would give her another. I only had to give about 2 or 3 and she would stop biting me because she got her fix with the carrot. Give it a try ;) |
Is it okay at only 10 weeks? |
Sorry but I call I conjure up in my mind is all of you walking around with a yorkied attached to your foot. LOL |
HAHAHAHA I can picture that too :D I would think 10 weeks is old enough as long as your puppy seems healthy. It doesn't really say anything about age on the bottle. Maybe you can ask the petstore or your vet. |
A little training trick I've had luck with is pull up on the hair on the back of the puppies neck. I do it and say no at the same time. It does not hurt them, just gets their attention. Some one told me that is how a momma dog would correct a baby so they understand it. Not sure if that is true, but it does work. |
ill try anything at this point . |
good advice! Good advice, I like the bitter apple spray. I didn't get to bring my yorkie home yet, but whenever I go visit her, she LOVES to nibble on my hands. Yes it may be cute now lol but she is also only going on 10 weeks. I'm sure it is a good idea to put a stop to it! Good luck to all of you who have biting full balls! Christine :p |
I have tried the water spray bottle- Starsky likes it I have tried bitter apple spray- Starsky licks it off I have tried a tap on the nose- Starsky snapps back rebelling I have bark, growled, cried- Starsky continues to bite I have ignored him- Starsky just runs away like he doesn't care. The only thing that sometimes works... Is when I tell him to sit or do a command and he does it, I say "yes" kind of in a high pitch. So when he bites I command him to do "kisses" and when he does I say "yes!" and he will continue to kiss me. It all depends on how hyper he is! So if you have any other suggestions that I haven't tried, let me know. He is 4 and a half months and I keep hoping he will grow out of this soon! |

I sprayed some cologne/perfume on my feet, my pup leave me alone. |
I tried the baby carrot thing and it works wonders!!! Fred still runs after me biting the bottom of my PJ's or at my feet and when I play or pet him, he'll go after my fingers. But I try to get to the fridge as quick as possible so I could replace my fingers with a carrot and that distracts him |

I posted my baby carrot suggestion above ;) |
I tried the spray water bottle method and it worked! Now all I have to do is pick the bottle up and he stops doing whatever I told him "No" for. woohoo! |
