Even smacking a dog lightly can make them aggressive and more inclined to nip or bite. With any puppy, they are very excited to see someone and greet them, which is why they can to jump and bite and get the person's attention. The best way I have found to deal with this is to ignore them until they calm down (and instruct your guests to do the same thing). Teach them the sit command if you haven't already. Command them to sit when they are jumping and biting at clothes. When they are sitting quietly, reward them! Give them a special treat or belly rub and say "good boy". Positive reinforcement is key! Good luck!</p></blockquote><p></p>
