we have a 10week old aussie sheppard (we've had her almost 4 weeks now) and she loves to chew on people. i had a dog when i was younger that would play chew on you and if she actually started applying pressure we would just say "ow that hurts" and she would stop and "apologise" and i would like the new puppy to one day be like that. right now she loves to try to bite noses and lips and loves to gnaw on hands and arms, and in the past week has started chasing after us and grabbing the legs of our pants. when she starts biting, we say no and take our hands away, and if she bites hard we say ow and tell her she's not our friend and ignore her for a few minutes, but it doesnt seem to be working. i've even given her a tap on the nose once when she bit really hard, but that just seemed to make her want to bite more. any suggestions? i dont believe in hitting them, even with the newspaper. i've heard there is a way to roll their bottom lip in so they bite themselves, does it work?help!
