My 2 year old German Pointer has been with us for 8 weeks now. She has just started a very annoying habit of nipping your hand and /or jumper when you bend to pet her, she doesn't hurt just makes holes in your clothing. There is no malice intended and I am sure this
was probably how she controlled the pups she had about 6 months ago. Unfortunately she has now started to do this with other dogs when she is loose in the wood. She is enticing them to play with her as she runs away after nipping them. Some dogs owners think she is being aggressive and trying to hurt their dogs. I know she is just playing as she doesn't growl or show her teeth. Do you think she will grow out of this? Has anyone else has this problem? I have tried being cross with her and tapping her nose
but neither works. HELP!
