There are several ways to check it. I start my pups from the beginning when it
starts with a slight tap upward under the chin, causes them to chomp their jaws
together, and say "no BITE", they don't see your hand doing it so they don't
associate it with you. They usually immediately start licking your hands and
you then praise them for being good and can give them something appropriate to
chew on. All must be consistant though or Dempsey will figure who he can get
away with it on............like your son.......;(

Hello all,
Dempsey is fabulous in every way, but the puppy in him (he's 11 weeks)
has these nipping fits when he's rambunctious and he nips at our heels
and hands if we try to pat him, and I'd like to curb it sooner than
later. My 8-year-old is a bit leary around him because of it. He won't
be going to obedience or puppy school for another month, until his
shots are completed.
Thanks!
Donna
