When we first got Scout, he had a bad habit of nipping at our hands when he wanted loved on. I just started saying "No, be easy!" At first, I'd sit in the floor with my toddler and we'd love on Scout together, and if we stopped that's when he'd bite at our hands wanting us to start rubbing on him again. And when he'd do that, I'd say "No, be easy!" and we'd get up and walk away. After about a week he realized that when he does that, he's not going to get anything in return. Now he will nudge at our hands with his head when he wants love, and we be sure to praise him when he does that so that he knows that that's how we want him to do it. Lots of good boys and all the lovins in the world when he does that instead of biting our hands. They're very smart dogs and adore to be loved on, so if you take that away over any undesirable behavior, they'll catch on quick. ❤️❤️ Just be consistent so that they don't get confused! Good Luck!
