How can i stop stop my puppy from nipping me while i am playing with her?

Question

every time i play with my puppy it nips me ....... any advice

Answer 1

When your puppy nips you, let out a high pitch squeal, stop playing and fold your arms and turn your back to your dog.  Do not give your dog eye contact.  Your puppy will stop and try to figure out why you are ignoring her.  Wait a few seconds and then return to playing.  If she nips, repeat the process.  She'll eventually learn that if she wants to keep playing that she can't bite you.

Answer 2

exactly what moonshooting said.

You have to make a cry of help so the puppy knows that that is too hard.  It doesn't stop it, that happens with time, my puppy went through that stage too, it could be a teething stage remember.

However if playbiting doesn't stop it will be really painful when your puppy is an adult, so this ensures when its older it won't bite you too hard.  Anyway your puppy will probably give up on you if can barely handle a tiny play bite.  Oh yes it is play biting which is perfectly normal.

Answer 3

Tell her NO or BAD every time she does and don't start to play with her again until she stops try to nip at you.

Gator fan your a cruel and heartless person!! Shame on you

Answer 4

All puppies do it. You have to punish him such as giving him a little smack or something so he knows that it is wrong to nip.

Answer 5

everytime she nips just give her a little smack on the nose. It makes them realise what they are doing wrong.

Answer 6

every time she does nip you tap her on the nose gently and say no in a stern voice most female dogs are the ones that bite soon she should stop biting you

Answer 7

Mouthing and biting are natural, normal behaviors; all puppies do it. During teething (generally starting around four months), the urge to mouth is extra powerful because it feels good on your pups' tender gums. Lacking opposable thumbs, puppies also use their mouths to catch, carry, and play, making it all the more crucial that they learn how to control themselves in the presence of human skin.

Answer 11

Give her/him a firm tap on her/his nose and say NO.

Or stop playing with her/him and get up and walk away whilst saying ouch quite loud.

As he/she gets older teach her/him to sit and then start playing again when he/she has calmed down.

Praise and reward (treats, cuddle, kisses) when he/she does the right thing.

She/he will get the idea, hope i helped and good luck.
