and once he gets over excited, starts nipping etc., stop the game. There is no time scale anyone can give you as to when your puppy will grow out of this stage. Some puppies are very quick to learn others choose to be a bit more defiant. You need to be consistant.

My dog can still get carried away at 3 years old. My point was that the rules I set when he was a puppy I still implement today if necessary.

I think terriers are the teenage rebels of the canines, like teenages you have to be one step ahead of the game.
