Advice please ? Willow nipping & biting. how to correct ?

When she play bites squeal as if she has really hurt you then turn your back on her and ignore her. She will then learn that if she bites then the game/interaction with you stops. 😉

you should always ignore the bad praise the good 🙂

If you ignore her she will stop, with the rugs try using distraction, get a toy and play with it yourself as if it is the most exciting toy in the world. 😉

Thanks

And praise her if shes just playing with a toy on her own – so easy to ‘give her attention’ when shes chewing rugs – but we often forget to praise them when they are actually being good and chewing the things they should.  😉
