You got to be carefuls not to bite the humans when playing!
Pupsters, this one is for you!
The humans really, really don’t likes it if you bites them and you can get into lots and lots of troubles if you do!
Some of the humans don’t knows how to tell you they don’t likes it, so you might thinks that you’re just playings and not really hurting them, but they might think you’re being mean and trying to hurt them on purpose.
Pupsters learn from each other not to bite too hard when playings.
I can’t remembers the humans teaching me not to bites them, I think I knew it alreadies when I came to lives with the humans. The humans think I must have come from a big litter of puppies, so we all learneds how not to bites too hard from each others.
The humans have to be able to trust you not to bites them by mistake!
But some puppies gets taken from their family too earlies or don’t have enough other pupsters to plays with and don’t know how much bitings is OK and how much is OUCH! So the humans has to help you to learn not to bites and to be carefuls and gentle around hands especiallies.
Puppies likes to explore the world with their mouths, but they need to learn to be carefuls!
So, humans, if your pupster bites you too hard or starts jumping and nippings you when they gets exciteds, you gots to say “OUCH!” really loudly and then turn your back on them or makes them go out of the room for a minute or two to teach them that bitings means the fun times is over and they have to be gentle. If you does it every time they bites, they will soon learns that it’s not allowed and be more carefuls.
You’ve got to do it every time though, because us doggies gets confused if you lets us do something one time and then get mad the next!
If the humans tell her no every time she does it, this pupster will soon stop biting the humans legs!
I never bites the humans by mistake and I’m very carefuls when taking treats or anything out of people’s hands, cause I got manners! I once or twice accidentally nearly bit the humans when we was playings when I was youngers, ’cause I tried to snatch the toy from their hand, so the humans taught me to not do that by making me wait for them to throws it and sit before they picks it up.
