Great advice, t.pettet!

I have a friend who is fostering a dog (also a puppy) who has seemed to aquire this behaviour as well... nipping, biting etc. the trainer she consulted suggested keeping a spray bottle handy and squirting him with water every time he does it... and it worked! He looked so startled after the first time, he hasn't tried it since!
