Answer: Won't Stop Biting
There is no other choice in this situation, but to be firm and strong. When you pup starts to nibble, very firmly say NO - and walk away, and ignore your pup for a few minutes. Your little pup is probably also teething. You may like to pay a visit to your local pet shop, to find some good raw hide or quality dried bones for him to chew on. Denta Bones are also good. Remember to be firm, and ignore the nibbeling. The more you struggle with him to stop, the more he thinks its a game, and fun!
