Pixie would do the same thing, biting at my pant legs and barking at me. What I did is stop and pointed a finger at her and said no in a very loud voice. She would stop for the moment, but if I started to walk again she would do the same thing again biting at my pant legs and barking. I would stop again and repeated what I did. It only took about a week of doing that and she stop. Pixie is now over 2 years old and hasn't done this in over a year now. You might want to try that. |
Lexie has a problem with this too. I tried the yelping but that didn't work for me and seemed to make her more excited. Whats working is spraying her with a water bottle and putting her in time out, each time i pick her up, make eye contact and say "ah ah!" in a firm voice then i put her either in her pen or if we're in my room in my closet, 15-30 secs is all she needs. As soon as she comes out of time out her attitude is changed and she stops nipping.She's catching on quickly that biting=no freedom and play time is over. |
I love reading these kinds of threads. I learn how to curb behaviors before they get to be too much. Thank you to all the wise and experienced people out here sharing, it really helps multiple people. |
sounds like he's going through teenager mode like most are saying...my baby was a yorkshire terrorist until she was about 18 months....she used to nip my heels and my hands and she was just a little cute booger over all...she never did this to my hubby which I never did figure out....she finally got over that stage. |

Hey...how's it going with the biting? Getting any better? |
Wow, I remember when my Gizmo did this crap, in the first year, (he is 4 yrs now), I personally watch a lot of Cesar Millan and do a lot of internet research. A lot of repetitive no's in a firm voice with a stern look at the time of the nip, then I ignore him for 5 minutes or so, eventually he got the message. I did the ame for any un-wanted behavior, I aways stand my ground with him, even at 4 he can sometimes want to be defiant with me as if he is challenging me, its really cute sometimes and I try not to laugh when he does it, but he definitly knows who is boss or pack leader, and every now and then I have to raise my voice and make him sit in one spot for a bit. They are really smart and know what they are doing, you just have to address it right away so they know what is being corrected at that time. :teethysmi |
well I have started giving more stern No's and also kept in mind that a tired dog is a happy dog and we have been playing alot more like fetch and stuff and he has been doing better. I guess I just didnt understand the amount of exercise he really need. Thank You EVERYONE for all your support and advice. |
