Puppy woes

Question
Okay so we got a puppy when he was about 2 months old and we can not get him to stop nipping any advise on what we should try?

Answer
How old is he now? Puppies explore their world with their mouth. And use their mouth in play. When you feel sharp teeth, yelp - if he pauses, offer him a more appropriate chew toy than your body parts. If that doesn't work - ignore him. To the point of getting up and leaving for a few seconds. When he bites, all play ends. You turn away. The big mistake most people make is quick movements with their hands around the puppy's face. (Trying to grab or swat muzzle, etc.) This stimulates the biting reflex and looks like "play" to the puppy. So it actually reinforces that behavior. Sandy Case MEd CPDT www.positivelycanine.com
