I am starting to deal with all the puppy stuff just fine. Potty training and chewing are under control. The one thing I can't seem to get him to work on is not nipping ME or my clothes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to play with him on the ground, but whenever I do so, he just goes bananas. He can't control himself. Especially if my head is at his level. He actually ends up hurting me pretty good at only 13 weeks by either biting my hands, arm, or my face.
I've tried giving a firm no command and showing him the toys he can bite on, and when he does latch on to them, praise him profusely.
I've also tried tipping him over and give him a good 30 seconds of social isolation, but I don't know if it's effective.
Is there something I could be doing better?
Help needed!
Love,
Bitten Fingers.
