More on puppy biting: Puppy Biting - Have Patience.
Puppy biting - all new puppy people please read!
Okay so yipping like a hurt puppy isn't working for you. It's not an *immediate* cure.
Just like everything else with a puppy - patience, patience, patience! Things take time to
get into those little lemon brains.
We've also suggested having a nice chewie toy to pop into puppy's mouth to redirect
them from biting on you.
There's the turning of the back, and tucking hands into your armpits. This is a calming
signal!
There's also the getting up and leaving the area where the puppy is.
There's popping puppy into a crate for a quick time out - sorry biting doesn't work, no
attention for you.
These are all things that you can do with your puppy - they *do* work. To get them to
work you have to forget about your time schedule, and realize that you're working with a
baby - a puppy, who doesn't understand human talk, has biting/mouthing as a behavior
that is hard-wired into their little systems. It all goes back to 1) time and 2) patience.
