Hey there, Esther. We’re glad the impulse-control games are working, but sorry to hear about the nipping issue.

If it truly is an excitement thing, there are things you can do to stop an excited dog from nipping. But it may also be a good idea to reach out to a certified dog behavior consultant (rather than a typical trainer) for some guidance.

Best of luck!

We are working still to perfect the impulses and have hired a trainer for help.
However, we have an issue with nipping, she is an 11 month old shepherd, 85 pounds very strong.
When she is corrected she can get very angry and mouths you, when trying to get her to stop, she sometimes lunges. We know it is excitement, but we have had a hard time getting this “biting” under control.
Any suggestions?
