I have a Lola as well, and she bites constantly! Unless she's really tired, that is. Hands, feet, face, clothes, the couch, it doesn't matter. If she can get her mouth on it she bites! I am hoping it is just puppy behavior, but in the mean time, I would love a solution! I will be trying the can of coins as soon as I get home! Is there a certain kind of can that works better (soda can vs. canned veggies, etc)??

TIA!

Just got myself a can and coins too. Wow one small shake and the chaos stopped immediately. I didn't even have to shake it much. :up:

We LOVE the can trick here too! We have 3 cans, one for each child. My 9 year old even gives up her can to any guests that come over! Works great...no more scratches on the bare little feet. I'll have to try the vinegar & water...Barkley opened his mouth every time he saw the spray bottle. :)

Luckily for me Biggie is an angel. I actually kind of worry that he doesn't really nibble at all... hmmm...
From my previous dog experience, I would personally reccomend the soda can, just because the noise is the key with this and Veggie cans are kind of thick.

Also, on another note, if you're apprehensive about cutting the can open; nuts, bolts, screws, nails and the like all work really well and fit into the mouth opening of the can. Then you just have to cover the mouth opening and not worry about gashing your hand open.

We use these at work ( doggie daycare) and it is excellent. Just be careful not to over use it, or it will stop working.

Update: this is a miracle! Seriously, I can't say enough about how well this worked last night. I only had to shake the can a couple of times, saying 'NO BITE' and she stopped immediately. After that, all I had to do was move toward the can and she stopped. I have to say I feel bad about the worried, sad look in her eyes when I did shake it. I had no idea dogs could look so guilty! Thanks for the advice. I will be making a can for every room! I ended up using a soda can with a few pennies in it. They fit down the opening, no cutting required, then I just sealed the top with duct tape.
