Hello all

I'm glad I joined this forum if only for the information I have just read about puppies nipping. Sal my new German Shepherd has started doing the same thing while playing and it is quite sharp. I thought it might be too physical playing with her but it seems most dogs do it.

I'll try giving a different toy to play with when it happens. Will look at exclusion for a short time if that does not work. (I'm a bit reluctant on this though as I want to reward good behaviour and not punish bad behaviour, will have to see.)

I will hope it just goes away - but I will keep reading this topic to see if any more ideas come forward.

PS just happened again, wasn't playing this time.
