<li style="text-align: left;"><p>Ohhh...a stop and romp trip.....think how well the leash training will be by time you finally see the grandchildren.....but I agree trip will be interesting and wee bit long with the extra stops. Perhaps by the time you arrive it will be tug of war time with grandchildren's shoelaces instead of puppy love nips.</p>

<p> We are just hoping he gets the message soon. We are going back to mi. to the grandkids & don't want them to be afraid to play with him.This 1400 mile trip should also be interesting.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Carol with all my Irish pups who came home at 12 weeks I used a consistent answer to baby nips....got up from the floor (or put puppy down) with a gentle tap on nose and firm no....then gave them an acceptable toy to chew on...wait a wee bit and repeated my cuddling or playing...and repeated corrective action immediately when baby nips started again...did not take long for them to figure out nip meant I was done playing with them....problem then became "Oh..boy give…</p>

<p> Thanks for all the suggestions. We will try to work with him on them. We will be heading back to mi. soon so he will have much more room to romp. Maybe that will help also.</p>

<p>Try just putting him out of the room - or removing yourselves. Just for a very short time. It will stop - I promise you! Although I know it seems like it never will. The other thing to do is to put something in his mouth that he can chew when he tries to chew you. </p>
<p>I remember the day clearly when I suddenly realised that I was actually cuddling my pup without being bitten! It seemed a long time coming!</p>

<p> He's just 13 weeks. we have tried putting him in the crate when he gets to excited. I'm afraid he will associate that with punishment & not go in at night. He has been great about training & sleeping in the crate. Now if he would just not bite. Our last irish was blind so very calm. This has been quite the adjustment for us.</p>

How old is he? Bess stopped the nipping when she was 16 weeks old. The only thing that worked for us before then were timeouts. When she got too nippy we'd take her out the room and leave her for 30 secs to a minute and then let her in again. Any longer and she wouldn't make the connection with why she was put out. As in most training you have to be consistent. Sometimes she was in and out like a yo yo.<br />

<p> I just don't remember the other 3 biting so much. The more we try to stop him the more he seems to bite.</p>
