Puppy Biting
My Jack Russell is 11 weeks old and he bites. I know this is both a Jack Russell thing and a puppy thing but I need to stop it, at the most discourage it as it is getting to the point where I dont want to play with him any more. When he gets excited he just starts biting everything and if he latches on to skin he wont let go and he will shake his head around and always break the skin. I have tried yelping like another dog would, he will eventually let go, but will always go back. If I keep my hands away from him he will just latch on to any other skin he can get to. I have tried giving him a toy instead of my hand but he isnt interested. Even things like pigs ears don't work. I have tried ignoring him, giving him time outs in a room that is empty but nothing works to stop him from latching on to my hand...or even worse another persons hand. Please help!
