I have a 9 week old cairn terrier who loves to nip and bite me and all of my clothes. I have tried everything to get her to stop this, from a shake can to distract her to putting a chew toy in her mouth. When she isn't doing this she is a wonderful puppy.

Please help, I don't know what to do!!! :cry:

This is what our trainer said to do and it has worked. The next time your dog nips or bites you should take your thumb and apply a good amount of pressure about midway on the dogs tongue pressing down, not pushing the tongue for about 5 seconds. After just a couple of times your dog will almost never do it again. At the same time tell your dog in a stern voice NO, NO BITING and then give your dog a toy and when it takes the toy tell him what a good boy he is. This just relates biting and nipping to an unpleasant feeling and also relates to the toy being a good feeling. Good luck
