Ok, so I know that puppies grow out of the phase of biting, and that sometimes yelping and ignoring seem to curb this sort of behavior, but NOTHING works with Cosmo. It's getting to the point where my girlfriend and I can't go 5 minutes into playtime without crying out in pain, the serious real type. His teeth are SHARP! I've gotten him a hard type nylabone yesterday, and he's almost all the way through it! This kid has some chompers on him! Ignoring him doesn't work, he just runs up to you and nips your feet and barks at you. I've tried the "instant muzzle" with my hands, but as soon as I let go he's back to biting! We try to steer him into the direction of toys when he bites, but eventually when you go to play with him sans toys, you will get the wrath of Cosmos needleteeth. He's broken the skin a few times, and he likes to chew on my hair, lol. He's 8 weeks, when does this behavior usually subside? I've got him a few different kongs, some air kong tennis ball type toys, and some assorted plush toys, but he just really seems to love to chew on humans.
Is my best bet to grin and bear it? I might have to start wearing those gloves that Hawk and Eagle handlers wear every time I play with my puppy...
