My dog keeps nipping at my hands and fingers how do I get them to stop? Thanks Bill from KY

My dog keeps nipping at my hands and fingers how do I get them to stop?

I find this being a common problem with almost every puppy.  First lets break it down into why your dog may nip at you, the usual answer is them either trying to get your attention or trying to play with you.  Most people unfortunately she this as a aggressive behavior and get rid of the dog.  You could use Fooey read my other article Fooey vs. Bitter apple .  But I find the best way to stop it without leave a nasty after taste on your hand is to use the gel hand sanitizer and when they start to chew your hand or body part, is to smear the hand sanitizer on that part and let them bite it again and watch their face, it usually only takes a couple times for them to stop nipping but every once in a while you have to remind them.  I did this with my dog and after only 3 times he stopped nipping.

If you want to stop this problem before it becomes a problem check out this e-book by Shannon Emmanuel here's the website.  Choosing the best dog for your kids. Check it out!

My dog is chewing everything how do I get them to stop?

Both these products are great for stopping your dog from chewing your most favorite possessions.  Well i'll help compare these two products.  Fooey is great for dogs and even human habits.  Just take fooey and spray it on the object that you want your dog to stop chewing.  Warning: wear gloves while applying this taste horrible when you get it on your hands.  Fooey can also be used to help stop biting your fingernails.  It also can be spray around a wound to help the animal stop chewing it.

Bitter apple from what I hear from people doesn't work as well and they end up switching to fooey because bitter apple is ineffective.  Don't get me wrong people do have good luck but it's mostly with Fooey.

Let me know what you use to help stop your pet from biting or chewing.
