[NAGDU] Play Biting

[Abby Bolling]

Hey there!
I discourage play biting in my pups by giving them a firm no and a 
GENTLE tap on the nose. if that doesn't work, I will walk away from 
them. I have only had my  first dog actually bite down and a quick "no" 
with a sharper tap on the snout did the trick.
My mom was terrified of dogs before I got Jada, so the last thing I 
wanted Jada doing was trying to "mouth" my mom and make having a dog in 
the house a bad experience. Cricket doesn't really mouth unless you are 
holding on to her paws or tail, but I can kind of understand that one, 
yet I still discourage it because I do not want her even thinking it is 
ok to mouth/bite someone who has to have her paw in their hand for what 
ever reason. (like the vet clipping her nails.)

Hope this helped!

Abby and the sleepy Cricket!
