Missy's biting is killing me.

Missy's biting has gotten out of control and my hands hurt so bad. Last night it was like she was the devil. She is definitely starting to try my patience. I might go out today and buy some bitter apple spray to spray on my hands and arms. Every time i say 'NO' she actually bites more.

What have you guys done to control biting? I'll try anything.

The ONLY thing that worked for us was a coffee can filled w/ some change. When he would bite us we would shake the can (they don't like the noise) and say 'don't bite!'. Also get a Kong toy and fill it w/ a treat. It keeps them occupied.

I had the same problem with Casey - as soon as she bites your hand, put something else like a toy in her mouth. You have to be consistent. The bitter apple spray works well. You should also get some chew toys and maybe a kong (hollow rubber ball) that you can fill with peanut butter.

I did the bitter apple spray on my hands when playing with Oscar. It worked pretty good, but I forgot I had it on and I rubbed my eyes. OOOOOUUUCH!!!
