nibbling

[Erin251]

ok so as we all know puppies nibble. well Bo has gotten really good about not mouthing on me or my son, but with my hubby and just about everyone else he sees he starts nibbling on them and wont stop. any ideas?

newman was like that for a short period. It only last a week or so i'd say

Personally, I think that's kinda cute. But I can see where it might get tiring. We have a command with Buddy - "Back off" - which is used when he's crowding us or company for whatever reason. Might be useful...

I had to make Deuce stop doing this as well. He knows not to do it to me or grown ups but he likes to do it with the little ones because he wants them to play with him.

back off thats a good one, we were having a hard time because Bo sounds a lot like no and i think he was getting confused. we will try back off. but i wish people would stop petting him when he bites. they are like "no no bo dont bite" in a soft voice while petting him which as you know reinforces biting.. some people can be really dumb. but then they look at me like why arent you training him? grr
