Poppy is nearly 13 weeks and we have had her just over a week. she is settling well and is usually good at not nipping. But she has started to like to nip my 2.5year olds feet. We tell her NO and move her away, she goes back and does it again so we put her in her cage with the blanket over for 5 mins then let her out again. She then goes back to nipping.

Would appreciate any tips on how to stop her.

Little wiggly toes are so enticing to pups ... as is anything else that moves! Colse supervision is very important, as is consistently responding to the nipping.

We have a really great link that will be of help to you as you work on rectifying this behaviour - unfortunately I am having trouble sharing it right now but I'm sure someone will pop it up shortly Smile

Try and get her to play with one of her chew toys and when she takes it and starts to chew on it say good girl .Do this all the time and if she nips you or your kids just cry out and give the chew toy again..Im doing this with Roxy she still nips now and then but not as much as she did.

Is this the link you mean kell ??  http://staffy-bull-terrier.com/stop_your_staffy_puppy_biting
