They were fine to start with but then Chester decided wallpaper is pretty tasty, as is the back of my sofa!!

Re: Rosie and Chester
Oh!! we do that!

He seems to be getting nippier the longer we have him, not aggressively though. He was trying to get a dandelion on my trouser leg during a cuddle and he missed, plus if he doesn't want to be cuddled he will nip to get down. He doesn't like being off the floor, but I want to get him to trust us and associate cuddles with something nice, like getting dandelions. It is work in progress at the moment.

ahhh bless! I found the best way is to not really touch them much to start with and build on it very slowly.. Chester took a long time to trust us.. At first we could hardly touch his head. Now he lets you touch his ears, under his chin etc, only place he hates is his tum and bum area!

Have you tried the 'no' command after nips?

Re: Rosie and Chester
~Awww, are there pics of the pad or have I missed that thread>?

It was so sad turning Willow from house bun to mansion house bun bonded with Dusty. But so worth it, she is in love with Dusty and their home is big with a run attached to it. Plus they get run of garden.

Looking forward to pics!
