this is more likely to lead to someone being bitten by this dog then helping the situation much...

much more effective to simply stop giving the dog attention when she bites/nips like this, then it is to try and intimidate her...

Thats a good way to get bit, or make your dog dislike you. Alot.

LoL.. Sounded like some kind of movie quote.

Exact situation with my Golden Retriever puppy. We started this method from day 1. After reading this thread I feel like complete idiots expecting her to stop after a few days. lol.. We'll continue and hope that she'll gets it eventually. =)

Good luck Kratoz101.

Thank you guys for all of the suggestions. We are in the process of learning with my pup right now. Her nipping seems reduced by now when i say "no!". Hope that she will get it eventually. Also, can you give me guys some info about mange? Because she has some kinda red spots in her inner thigh and her hair around ears and in her chest seems to be thinning. But theres no blemish or anything on those areas aside from her inner thigh. Thank you for your help guys!!

mange must be confirmed by a skin test at the vet. They will take a scapel and scrape som' of the skin off and then look under a microscope for the mange mites....I've had two dogs with mange Its simple medication generally, but its better not to wait, and take her in now.

The other thing is som' mange is contagious, som' isn't, all the more reason to take her in sooner rather than latter. Its rough on their immune system and is likely to continue to get worse.

I have the same problem w/ my 12 week old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. We've had him for 2 weeks and he's been nippy. I've tried multiple methods to correct this...both by the me yelping and then some correction (I know, maybe not appropriate yet). It seems to subsided w/ me but he's still nippy around the two kids (6 and 3.5) and my wife. I've told them to use the "ouch" method I read about here. How else would you suggest to get the pup to stop nipping at the kids? (sometimes the kids are running around so it seems the pup is "herding" them)

you will get more replies if you start your own thread...but generally at that point you would "ouch" and 100% leave the room. The pain must make the fun stop and make you go away...

My first recommendation is to ignore the behavior completely, but it that does not work send him to time out. I put my arm out and point to the laundry room and say "time out" in my sternest voice when my dog has done something really bad. He'll walk over with his head down and sit down and wait for me to shut the door. Dogs hate to be shunned from the "pack", it is the harshest punishment.

I can send my kids to time out...I'm not sure my 3 month old puppy would get it =) Didn't you need to train time out as well?
