I am the almost the most well behaved dog. I excell in my CGC courses
( even beating out the Goldens!!) but I just can't stop nibbling my mom and dad. I get threatened with lemon juice ALL the time but I can't help myself. Does anyone have a solution?

I don't have a solution but I do have the same problem. Sadie nibbles on us as well as nawing on us. She will put our arm in her mouth and bite down (gently). We haven't tried anything but "no" and pulling away so far. She stops when we say no but does it again. It will be nice to see if someone does have a solution to this type of situation.

Hmph! Whenever I do this, my human says "No nom the Mom" and turns her back on me. (I think she spends too much time on Lol Dogs) I bump her with my nose, but she keeps ignoring me. Then she pets me again and I try not to nibble on her, that way, I get lots of pets and scratching! I hardly ever nibble anymore, but sometimes I just can't help it.

I think Sitkan nailed it. We all know how much our Mals HATE being ignored, so whenever they mouth, ignore them. Leave the room if need be. Generally crossing your arms and turning your back to them works. Thankfully we "nipped" this in the bud when Tanuk was a baby.
