| Biting !!! Hello. I am the mommy of Britain. We used to spend a lot of time on this site a few months ago but life seems to get in the way sometimes. Britain is now 6 months old and is my joy, but she has a biting problem. Not an aggressive problem, it is when we play together she likes to chew on my fingers. I have tried everything I can think of short of biting her back to get her to stop. I dont want her to think that this behavior is ok. I am signing her up for puppy class soon. Will they address this problem there or do any of you have any sugestions that may help me to get her to chew on toys and not people? Thanks for all the help |

| Thank you . I have tried firmly saying NO too. But she just growls and wags her tail and goes for my hand again......I hope the puppy class is helpful. |

| It works very well! I wanted to see how it tasted, so i licked a little...and nearly passed out. LOL. But back to your questions, when you see he's about to bite, spray it on your arms and let him bite you. The bitter taste will discourage him from biting you. Also when he gets a taste of the bitter apple, say "No" in a stern voice. |
