as most of you know, my little girl Flower is home and shes been a pure joy! We were having an issue with her biting the tips of our fingers...it wasnt that painful or anything...but it was defiantly a habit that we needed to break right away. So I read on here to either use a stern voice...and say "NO" or something to that effect...and that didnt work for Flower. So then...we tried to just avoid letting our fingers get near her mouth...but it seemed as if that was her goal every time we had her out and she would charge for them! So finally i decided to blow in her face lightly whenever she took that first light nibble...because i know that right after that nibble comes the CHOMP. It worked like a charm!!! We had to do it a couple of times...but after the fourth time..all we had to do was inhale and she shut her mouth, looked up at us as if to say, "okay okay"...and then turned around to crawl on some other part of me. Im so happy!! and i just wanted to say thanks everyone for the wonderful advice...and that i am evidence that this method is very effective!!! So if your new, and have this problem...try it! it just may work!
