[osky]

We have had our 3 month old Vizsla puppy for 3 weeks and just adore her ... but ... she bites alot and with those sharp puppy teeth it can really hurt! We started by saying (sometimes yelling) ouch! to startle her. At first it worked, she stopped biting and we distracted her with a toy, but now I think the ouch! or no! just encourages her to keep biting us and she ignores the toy. So then we then tried grabbing her by the scruff of her neck when she started biting and saying no! but she still continues to try and bite. I really do not want to use "negative" training methods, but I don't know what else I can do. Is it just too early for her to have learned "bite inhibition"?

Thanks,
