Envisage 365: Amber 44/365

Looks vicious, doesn't he? Heheh. His teeth never touch skin. He's such a
good dog.

Miss Thystle October 15, 2009 at 5:10 PM: that's clearly a game of "vicious, barking dog"! Mine love that game, makes them feel manly for all their polo-wearing-couch-sitting-can't-outside-it's-raining pansyness
Linda October 15, 2009 at 5:49 PM: Wish I could get Rixi to keep her teeth off of skin, but at 3 months old, it's nearly impossible. Any tips?
Anonymous October 15, 2009 at 8:23 PM: @Linda honestly with my little one sticking a finger down her throat (not far, just enough for the shock value to her) was the only thing that stopped her from biting. She may have only been 3 lbs but DANG those teeth hurt!
Amber October 16, 2009 at 11:14 PM: Ohhhh my goodness Miss Thystle, clearly our dogs were separated at birth, right down to the won't go outside when raining!

Linda, what we did with Piper was to tell him "NO" and then ignore him for a little bit, so he learned that playtime was taken away when he bit. That also worked for his inappropriate jumping. If that doesn't work then yeah, Niki's method is one of the "last resort" methods for super stubborn dogs. Good luck!
