Goodness, a year already?!?!? It's been a joy to 'follow' his progress!
From an ol' hound to a classy canine: Happy Birthday, Geordi...
He tried to chew my arm off!
Ouch!
Probably not endorsed by Cesar Millan, but I would hold my pup's lower jaw and put my thumb on top of her tongue until she got uncomfortable and tried to move away. I would hold on until she started to shake her head. Don't press on the tongue, just enough pressure to 'pin' it.
That worked for all three of my past cherished canines. <sigh, miss 'em>
Now, dat's funny!

I have never had a dog that got too rough like that, but supposedly if he thinks he's just playing you can make him stop just by letting out a yelp, as in try to sound the way he would sound if you hurt him. Don't know if it's true because I've never tried it.He tried to chew my arm off!

Those little nips are not intended to really hurt. they are only warnings of "don't mess with me" Remember that we don't have naturally protective fur coats. My daughter when she was little was hugging a german shepherd, who was getting tired of all that hugginess, and wanted to be let go. He nipped her in five different places on her face. She was not aware of his nonverbals, and he didn't really want to hurt her. He was only doing what he would have done to a puppy.
Thanks, Kenna.
That looks soooo good! I love zucchini spaghetti. Yum!
Spaghetti squash is a fun food. The way the stuff strands is very cool -- and delish!
It's the only kind of squash i can eat..tho I love squash seeds....
Only problem with that is some dogs get more excited and nippy, so it depends on the pup.
That's what I did with Geordi. Hold the bottom jaw and you control the teeth. Not hard to hurt, just firm. I also told him "no bite" firmly but calmly. With a shirt with sleeves also push my arm into his mouth. Again, not hard, just firm. Kinda makes them stop and think about gagging. Both have worked for my pups. Oh, and then happily present something they are allowed to chew on!
@Iffy , Geordi say "woof woo" to you too!
We've used this method several times with our psycho dog (Abby) and it does work......she immediately stops her 'playing' and it has trained her not to nip! Had to make sure she wouldn't nip the grandbabies, and even though we keep an eye on her with the munchkins, she has ceased the nipping.....
My daddy taught me to respect the police, after all they have guns and get enough grief for just doing their jobs. Yes Sir, No Sir and do what they ask you to do. I sure a hell wouldn't want to walk up to a car window of someone I didn't know and who might be ...... off without knowing where their hands were. Would you.And in that vein, a conversation starter:

Notice how the folks in the background pay no attention to them as if they are just normal everyday visits.
I've done that. As well as push down on their snout & tell them no. Everything is a challenge with this snappy boy. And he is lightening fast.Goodness, a year already?!?!? It's been a joy to 'follow' his progress!

No, I'm not messing with him when he does this. He comes in for cuddles or playing & before I know it he's going for my hand or arm. It's like he's trying to play but is getting excited & gets way too rough about it. I kinda wonder if the man of the house isn't playing with him like this & the pup doesn't have a clue what too much is. Plus those needle sharp puppy teeth.
