Constant Nipping..
Conan is now 15 weeks old and is doing brilliantly but the nipping and mouthing seems to be getting worse! Everytime I try to play with him he's just constantly trying to nip my hands, I've tried ignoring him, telling him off, distracting him... but nothing seems to work. He's always going for the cat too, I think he's only playing but he's starting getting really rough with her, I don't want to have to keep them apart but I caught him dragging her round the garden by her neck this morning. Any suggestions on how to stop him? x

Here is a link that will help

It takes patience and consistancy from everyone the pup has contact with but it does work and we all go through it.

Yep: stick to one method and do it every single time. Loki was horrible with the biting, but he's much better now, hardly ever does it, so it does get better, just, you know...takes a while of stress

Re: Constant Nipping..
Every time he nips you must stop all interraction immediately, don't even look at him until he calms down. It does take a while, but he'll get there.
Don't forget that everything a pup (or grown dog) does is a 'behaviour' which is natural to him, his siblings & doggie friends. What we have to teach is which 'behaviour' is ok with humans and which ones aren't. That can't be done overnight. As long as everybody does the same thing he will learn.
I've never had a cat, but if you teach a strong "Leave" command at least you'll be able to get him to let go!
