Answer 1

Ok.... hmmm. Its good that you admit that you have a problem.

Take some pictures of your finger nails.... this way you can really examine and list their problems.... plus have a before/after comparison!

Look at the pictures and visualize your nice new nails that people may admire and comment on!

In the beginning, pick a nail... a nail that you want to start your treatment with... the one that you will stop bite!

Watch as this nail grow and flourish, see how this will reward you. Do not bite it at all..... bite one of the 'unprotected' ones if you must.!!!

Once you grow your 'special' nail, you will love to look at it, specially when surrounded by the other 'unprotected' ones. Then you will want to start protecting another one, and another......

Dont give up! It takes time... Sometimes it takes 3 weeks to grow nails half Cent.

Use your mouth in other ways when you have urges.... like eating carrots or having gum handy for those weak moments LOL.... Eat calcium and magnesium rich foods because its good for your nails!

Have a good treat! Go to a very good, well known manicurist!! You will spend money on your new and improved nails... a money that will be wasted if you bite them again! Show them off and be proud of them! You will have fun with colors now!

Good Luck ;-)

Have gel nail extensions put on, that way you can have your lovely nails now, which will stop you from biting them and in the meantime your natural nail is growing underneath. You will need to go back once a month and they will file down the tip each time till eventually your own nail will have grown and they will then just apply the gel over your nails to keep them strong.

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/Wxmdm

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

I bit my nail until I was in my mid 40's. I bite them until they bled. The cure: I started by chewing gum. It seemed to satisfy the oral habit. I painted my nails with hard nails, frequently so they wouldn't split. I took a nail file with me all of the time so when they were rough or they tore I didn't 'repair' my nail by biting them. I have had beautiful long nail ever since and I am in my 60's.

Answer 5

Take it from this former nail biter! Always take an emery board (nail file) and file down jagged bitten edges to make them smooth. It's those rough edges that make them tempting to bite. Take biotin supplements to help them grow long faster. Biotin also helps with hair by the way.

The moment they reach your finger tip, that's when you paint them as a reward.

Answer 6

oh i had this habit for years and years and it was really bad, i had tried that horrible stuff that tastes like feet I had tried incentives for myself (e.i a bottle of nail varnish for every week I didnt bite my nails) and nothing seemed to work....

Then I was at my grans house one day and she took hold of my hands and said "oh Sarah, you should be ashamed of yourself... I would never let a man put a ring on my finger if it looked like that!"

All of a sudden I stopped! hope this helps, not a miracle cure but i think its all phsycological anyway! xx

Answer 7

They make fake nails that give you 48 of them and they're not painted, or when you are at home and wouldn't look stupid put tape on your nails. Or for when you are in public put something on them that you don't like so you won't be drawn to them. Besides, just think about all the BACTERIA you are putting in your mouth.

Answer 8

I have the same problem, I've been biting since I was 7 years old (Im now 26) and I just can't stop. Ive tried all of the creams and they only work for so long.....they may work betta for you but didn't for me..
I seems to be worse for me when I get stressed or bored.....x

Answer 9

that is a bad habit to get out off. Try having nail's put on they are so hard that you would hurt your teeth.

Answer 10

Did you know that there are more germs under your finger nails than in your toilet! Just imagine that every time you bite your nails you may as well be licking your loo! ERRRGGHHH!
