Anyone got any useful tips on discouraging puppy biting/mouthing?
George is mostly a well behaved dog, but just has a half hour period of the day when he goes nuts, and wants to either chew your arm, or play tug-of-war with your clothing.
Wait until those little needle teeth start coming out and you find one in a table leg, or worse, with your bare feet.
Tug-of-war is actually a very good game for a puppy, but you have to set the rules. Use only a rope or a special towel or blanket. If they try a pant leg or finger, put the approved toy in their mouth. They'll get the idea pretty quickly.
@LV246 The problem with that strategy to me is what happens when you don't have any treats?
If my sweetie ever lets me get a dog. I'll train him with love. Training puppies is a little different though (treats are a motivator, I guess...) but if I do get a dog he or she will be at least a year old from a shelter. How the heck do people abandon dogs? I just don't get it.
