Nipping is one of the biggest struggles every puppy parent goes through.
It can be very disheartening especially when the kids don't want to play with the puppy anymore.
That's why I'm giving you my three favorite games that I teach my clients to help with a nipping puppy.
Each one is designed to give you a way to interact and play with your puppy while keeping sharp teach away from sensitive fingers.
Each of these games are great for kids and adults.
The the games I teach are:
- Puppy Soccer
- Freeze Tag
- Flirt Pole (this one is actually a toy which I have pictured below)
Find this flirt pole on Amazon*.
In this episode I talk about:
- Why puppies nip and bite.
- To prevent nipping it's sometimes about changing the game.
- My three favorite games to play with a nipping puppy.
- How to teach your puppy each game.
- When to involve the kids.
Press play and enjoy!
