I don't punish her for chewing gently guess she just not grown out it yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687188170251382002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5204686101220070950.post-39846886962954581682017-05-31T06:47:48.287-07:002017-05-31T06:47:48.287-07:00How old are your children?

I was researching this for my very big puppy ( 4 month 40lb Great Dane Mastiff) who will take 2 of my fingers almost all the way into his mouth and as much as a dog could suck on them. He doesn't bite or even scrape his teeth on them. He just kind of moves his tongue on them in his mouth. Nobody thought this was normal. Me being a Breast feeding consultant could see how a puppy would want to nurse longer than others. I don't stop him. Which other people think is weird.<br />I could use more suggestions on how to get him to stop nibbling the kids. Its hard to tell them to sit there and let him nibble you and if he bites to hard then let him know. I have actually tried having them say "ouch" really loud so he knows he hurt them. I have also had them get up, turn their back and ignore him , or leave the room.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009454729904350429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5204686101220070950.post-57781436497949028722017-01-11T04:02:11.019-08:002017-01-11T04:02:11.019-08:00Thank you so much for this article out here.

I got her from a friend who had purchased two for himself, so the little one has her brother to play with every other day or so.<br /><br />I had begun to wonder about teething and oral fixations in dogs since I first encountered a "mean" biting dog. This information confirms a lot of my own small hypotheses and makes me feel certain that my puppy's gonna grow up to be a sweet, healthy girl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5204686101220070950.post-77696271327386576042016-12-18T10:48:57.468-08:002016-12-18T10:48:57.468-08:00This works best if your pup has been taken from it...This works best if your pup has been taken from its mother at 8 weeks and allowed to stay with its littermates till 12 weeks. The technique still works without those elements, it just takes longer. And you're definitely more likely to get harder bites from your pup!

With the first one, we used loud "no"'s and yanking on a training collar hard, per a trainers advice. While we are already bruised and nipped, we'll give your suggestion a try. Will let you know how it works out if I can still type. lolPat Graynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5204686101220070950.post-68561961989987625032016-07-17T08:04:04.024-07:002016-07-17T08:04:04.024-07:00Glad to hear it, Jena!Glad to hear it, Jena!Lee Charles Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859112874574974226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5204686101220070950.post-35698779108602742612016-07-14T12:35:54.401-07:002016-07-14T12:35:54.401-07:00interesting. very helpful. thank you!interesting. very helpful. thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748627508990511853noreply@blogger.com
