Hello Todd,

Thank you so much. I've tried the methods and he has stopped nipping. He ocassionally does it again, but i growl and he stops.

This kind of leads to two more questions if you dont mind.

1) is there such a thing as too much growling? Today whenever he does it, i growl and he stops. he plays and then about 15 minutes later he does it again. Do i continue?

2) how should i play with my puppy? I noticed that we shouldnt play tug of war or chase games. What type of exercises/play methods can i have with my puppy. he does not have all his shots yet. I'm teaching him the sit and down command and he gets it, but only by hand signals. He doesnt get the verbal commands yet. what else can i do to keep his mind/body going.

Thanks in advance.
