I have a 10.5 week old Westie who bites constantly! You can tell it's in a playful rather than "vicious" manner but I don't want him to continue this inappropriate behavior, plus those little puppy teeth are pretty strong! I have tried everything suggested in my puppy books and from online research (Bitter Apple spray--he just licks it and continues biting, gentle tap on the nose while saying "No bite!", replacing whatever he's biting with an appropriate toy, ignoring him, etc.). I am trying very hard to be patient but I'm becoming so frustrated! A fellow Westie owner and friend of mine told me nothing worked for her but he eventually outgrew this stage when his adult teeth come in.
Any other suggestions, advice, or similar stories? :-)
