At no time is it okay for your dog to put her teeth on any part of a human body. Nipping and mouthing are not acceptable, not even from little puppies. Remember that puppy teeth may not hurt very much, but they'll soon fall out and be replaced with adult ones that will. So don't ever encourage your dog to nibble or teethe on you, and don't play games that encourage her to nip at you. Teach your small children to keep their hands away from her mouth.

When you do feel doggie teeth on you, don't take it lightly; let your pup know that even if she meant no harm, this is a behavior you won't tolerate. Give her a muzzle squeeze and a harsh "Ah-ah!" For extra effect, you can grasp the fold of skin behind her neck and give her a little shake. Be sure to clasp her snout tightly, hooking your finger below her chin so that she can't pull away. When you feel her relaxing, release her slowly, and be ready to do it again if she nips again. Once her urge to nip or snap has passed, praise her for being such a sweet girl.

Would you like to train your puppy to automatically stop at the street without any verbal cue from you? This can be done by you starting to walk five feet from the street with your dog heeling at your side. As you walk toward the street, give no indication that you are going to stop. What you want to happen is for your dog to automatically stop and sit, since she recognizes this as a street even though you continue to walk past the curb and out on the street. When you do stop, both of your feet are on the street though your puppy is sitting at the curb.

You need to give yourself some leash room because you are increasing your speed as you move into the street - so you're adding a little more distance between you and your puppy. You are adding more leash because you don't want to inadvertently jerk your dog onto the street. If your dog follows you onto the street, turn around and pop the leash and say, "No! Back! Street!" Your hands should be over her right ear where all the pops take place. Later you can control her if she starts to enter the street by quickly turning around and saying "Back-Street Sit!" Practice this on as many street corners as possible. As your dog begins to identify streets on her own, you will notice that she will stop at driveways as well.
