[PyrNet-L] The Nipper!!

["ARIEGE" <ARIEGE@xtra.co.nz>]

Trying to remember how long "the nipping" lasts in puppies. I found a
website that had an idea I though I would try. Lemon juice in a spray bottle
and when the puppy nips you spray that at his mouth, they don't like the
taste so it's a form of deterrent.  Wrong!! this one keeps coming back for
more, he likes it!  He is getting less nippy but I think that's an age thing
so maybe he'll stop completely soon.  Just two weeks until Aloha Hamish and
I would like to have him completely "nip free" when he leaves home. Remember
this is a single child so he has no other puppies to play with . The older
dogs have been very good with him . What have other people done in a similar
situation? Any ideas? We have been firm with him but it is hard not to spoil
him.
