Puppy mouthing..

[-Soph-]

how do I discourage it?

my puppy is about 4-5-6 months old (sorry.. i'm clueless lol)
and she still mouths like CRAZY... i've tried almost everything to discourage it, ignoring, telling off, giving her a lot of bones/toys to chew on.. but nope.. she's still more interested in my feet and hands.

Any tips? :}
+rep..

Biting i believe.

Hit her on her nose when you punish her. They don't like it--she'll probably hate you for a bit, but she'll stop.

I disagree.
Slapping the dogs nose can make them shy and eventually permenatley agressive towards you.

I suggest you go out with your dog or you spend time with your dog doing something that enforces YOUR position upon her. Meaning no barking, jumping on you, no stealing etc.

Tap her on the nose not slap.

Shes still a puppy, so she's stil learning. Just keep giving her chew toys,

she goes even crazier when I do that lol, and she tries to bite me more.

and above, read?
I already said that.. i've had her since she was a few weeks old, if it hasn't worked since then, then I doubt it's going to do much now.

I did read that's why i said "keep" giving her chew toys. You don't need to be so rude and arrogant when I'm tryign to help you.

Treat it like a child.
Make it sit in its basket and although it may require alot of work, it will eventually learn that if it bites you it will have to go to its basket which it wont like then hopefully wont bite you.
