well if no harm is done and the dog does not become vicous during these bouts of play then just go with it and sooner or later it will grow out of it -this is the playful behavior of a young dog and is not very harmful to anyone -as it gets older it will cease this behavior and all is well.

You are so cute! How old are you? I had a boxer, (he past away last Fall and I miss him very much) who use to do the same thing when he was a puppy. Maybe you are teething! If so, ask your master to get you a large collection of chew toys. If you continue to "bite" I would suggest that your master reprimand you, or take you to a school that teaches obedience. If you grow up and do not lose this habit, you could do some damage as adult boxers are very strong, with a strong bite radius.

Sounds like you didn't learn bite inhibition from your mom! Your owner will now have to take on the task of teaching you. Whenever he yelps or says ouch very loudly and takes away his hand, this is a sign that he is soft and tender and not a good thing to bite! If that doesnt work, he might try bitter apple spray which is available at any pet store....and trust me, you won't like the taste of that at all! It's a good idea for your owner to replace his hand with something you can chew on whenever you can't control yourself and try to take a little nibble. If none of this works for you, you might even get to go to obedience class...which is actually really fun and you get to meet all sorts of people and other dogs.

Your master should use a firm "NO" when you bite him and should stop petting you. He should find a toy or some other distraction for you to focus on, and then try petting you again. If you don't bite him, he should reward you with a yummy treat! If this doesn't work he'll have to take you to an animal behaviorist (that's a nice word for puppy shrink), and I'm sure you don't want that to happen!

Sounds like you think that you are the boss! Your owner should correct you by taking his hand away and giving you a firm "no". He should not show you ANY attention until you can be patted without biting. Once you show that you can sit quietly and not bite (nibble) then they should pat you. If you start again, they should correct you all over. They should never show you positive attention while you are displaying negative behavior.

Cute, very cute.
But back to the question. I love the way u put it it just sounds so cute!
My dog has the same thing. Zoey a lab has chewed up everything and when i reach down to pet her she turns aroung to bite me!
My grandmother put some red hot pepper stuff on some stuff she was fond on chewing on alot.
Do that, and when the dog bites your hand pop him on the nose

As a puppy, did you love your mother? Or were you taken from her before you had a chance to bond?
This biting of the hand may be a manifestation that you really dislike these "owners" and the concept doesn't still well with you.

1. Go to doggy dentist
2. Get all teeth pulled
3. Bark like thith.
4. Get master to buy only baby food for me from now on.
5. Ask master if he'd rather have things the way they were and just wear a glove.
6. Go to spelling 101 class or get a better ghost writer

Playful biting can be easily stopped. When you grab your master's hand he/she should grab your bottom jaw. It's pretty uncomfotable isn't it? My master did that to me and it didn't take long for me to stop biting.

You are 'mouthing'. Every time you mouth your masters hand he should firmly (but not hurtful) grab your muzzle and say No!, if you do it again he should stand up and turn his back to you for at least 30 seconds, every time. Soon you will realize that when you mouth, your master stops playing and ignores you, which is bad.
