I don't think the time out curred it, but i guess it gave the impression that this was not acceptable.
Like others have said its a phase that spoiled our enjoyment of her early months as cuddles were impossible!
But we're making up for it  |
It was good to read this as i'm a little at my wits end with our 12 week cocker boy - who can be so easy when out and about, but very bitey (hard) especially towards my hands and arms and my daughters feet. We have tried mimicking a dogs cry, saying no and squirting with water - also distracting him with toys. but he doesn't seem to get that this is not on.
He has a lot of energy and tends to bite at these times. We have lots of toys and things for him to safely bite/chew - any advice please would be most welcome! p.s. It's almost as if he's trying to dominate and it's worrying me because of my 4 year old daughter.
