Well,Milo was playing with his mommy a little rough.He nipped her on the lip,got her good too . He's been nipping alot lately because he has one baby tooth left.Vet states it needs to be removed because the adult tooth grew behind it.I try telling him no and put him on time out.But it seems he's getting worse...any advice would help.Thank you
 
Try the "nothing in life is free" approach, & also try to train a "leave it" command for situations like that, where play gets too rough.
 
Ouch that hurts. They go through a phase and then it gets much better. I agree with [MENTION=894]blushy[/MENTION] with the nothing in life is free approach.

:up: and redirect with a toy helps too
 
I agree with Blushy. The nothing in life is free approach works well with our household!
 
When nipping started to get out of hand we re-directed immediately to a toy. I always had a toy in my hand when playing and if he nipped I said No and wiggled a chew toy to get his attention. Luckily nipping is normally a relatively short phase. In case re-direction is not working, then just stop playing and start again when he is in good behaviour.
 
I agree, this is normal and will pass, but saying NO, and redirecting with a toys does help.
