okay, how do you correct a puppy from nipping you. I've said no real load until I'm blue in the face. she still comes back for more. I don't want to put her in her crate for a time out when she does that. she likes her crate so I don't want to use it as a punishment. she nips at my shoes, at my pants, at the furnuture, at my hands. at everything. I know she is a puppy and she is just tasting everything. but it sure is not fun.
Puppy Question no. 2

Tell her no. Squeze her nose and give her a toy. Make the squeze distasteful.

We had similar issues with Kiera until we found out how much she loved rope bones. We would have one within reaching distance and gave it to her any time she felt like getting nippy.
Now if we could get her to stop kissing everything.

Oh how I agree Arda, I had to do that with my shepherd, Hunter never
did the nip thing, but Schaudeh sure did, she had it in her head she
was going to be the boss, also other testing antics. It took awhile
but we made it, she found out.

I have always grabbed the upper jaw, actually over the nose is a dominance move, and actually forced some eye contact, with the command "don't bite!" It's one of the first things my dogs learn, followed shortly by "drop it!" taught by much the same method. With the puppies, having an alternative to give them to chew on is also helpful, because of course puppies must chew. Having the "don't bite" command is helpful for later when they are older and you want them to take something politely out of your hand or they are in an excitable situation, they keep their teeth to themself.
