I tell ya - our puppy is the cutest thing in the world, but it's decieving. Ollie bites contantly. You cant touch him anywhere with him trying to bite you. If I try to substitute my finger for a toy, he'll bite the toy once or twice, then go after the fingers. Most of the times he'll ignore the toy all together and go for the fingers that are holding it! He bites our toes, our faces, our hair, out pant legs...anything. I realize he's still a brand new puppy... almost 10 weeks, but wow. It's like we have to ignore him most of the time because all he wants to do is bite! I hate having to do that, because he stays in the crate during the work day - he needs attention!
We say OW! and stop playing with him, but then he just goes after our feet. We stand still, say STOP IT! and he keeps on biting. We've tried a spray bottle - I think he likes it. We've tried the crumpled can with the coins - it just confuses him for a second before he resumes his assault.
He's very difficult to work with outside on the leash, as well. If I try to walk or jog, he'll go after my pants. If I let him do his own thing, he tries to eat mushrooms under trees, pine needles, and anything else he can fit into his mouth.
By no means am I surprised or overwhelmed by any of this, mind you. I just felt like whining a bit - I will say that I am already over the "puppy chapter". We'll be taking him to puppy school in a week or two. Hopefully he'll at least learn the basics. Whew!
