Hello! We have a 10 month beautiful Dobie girl named Alia and she can’t seem to stop putting her teeth on us, friends and other family members. She doesn’t bite down, but will use her mouth to hold onto our forearms or hands (mainly hands). She also plays a lot with her mouth, showing her teeth when she wants to play. We’ve tried a variety of things to stop this: coins in a can and shaking it, diluted vinegar sprayed into her face, pushing her away while giving a firm NO. These are all the things our vet suggested and it just doesn’t work (at least not long term). We have found that she doesn’t like to be told she’s BAD, so we will use that and it stops her, but momentarily. Any suggestions or feedback would be great!
