Good advice Marsha,
My Bunny has learned not to put her teeth on us, I am still working on her licking everything in site including face, ears, cheeks,ect.
She is so funny tho cuz she still goes after our hands like she is going to bite them then she just hits our hands with her cheek while her mouth is open lol.
When she does bite or even puts her teeth I say in a rather loud hurt voice, OWW! then I say NO BITE and set her on the floor and walk away. That just about kills her she hates to be in trouble, but I rarely have to remind her now.

It is very cute when they are that little. Only problem is...it aint so cute once they get older. And it is unfair to the dog when they have been allowed to "bite" and then one day, out of the blue, get in trouble for it. They don't know why what they did is wrong. As cute as it is now, it is a habit that should immediately be broken.The best way to break the habit of play biting is to do it the same way its litter mates would. When she "bites" or growls, YELP and pull your hand away and stop playing immediately. Don't fuss at her, as it is normal play. She learns not to do it, not by being fussed at, but by loosing your attention and seeing you yelp in pain. If you notice a litter of pups, they will play rough, but if one gets too rough, the others will yelp and stop playing with them. This is what the pup understands and this teaches her the proper pack behavior. And you are now her pack.Marsha----- Original Message -----From: Susana MSent: Monday, December 05, 2005 2:21 PMSubject: [Chihuahuas] question...My new little girl is very active! When she plays, she plays hard. When she sleeps, she sleeps hard! We have started house breaking but i know thatll be a long drawn out situation. My question is when we play with her she likes to bite, like any other normal puppy but should i tell her no for biting in play? Shes also very vocal. She loves to growl while playing. Shes so funny....
