Ok Glover is cute and yes just a 3 month old puppy and I love him to bits but his biting is getting worse by the day. Im not calling it nipping because the only one he nipps is my boyfriend (although its getting harder now too) but he really goes after me and bites.
Now I am the one who takes care of him, I feed him (do hand feed him sometimes), I brush him, I basicly do everything.
What I have tried is stricktly saying NO bite (I always say that) Ive tried holding his mouth while saying no bite, Ive tried turning him around on his back, putting my hand on his chest and look him in the eye (vet told me to do this..) he doesn't stay still for much and if I hold longer he goes crazy and I cant keep him still.
Ive tried the yelping with a high pitch and then leaving too.
If he EVER licks me or actually comes up to me without biting I praise him either with treats or just saying good boy in a exciting voice. (doesn't happen very often.)
All these things just seem to make him go even harder.
All this is getting me stressed out and I know the dog knows that now too...
I read all these posts about people having trouble with toilet training, and other things, but he is toilet trained and loves his play and food, but it doesn't matter what he is doing, he has to sink his teeth into me.
He has also started barking at us now when we tell him off..
I just dont know what to do..
