Instructions
Cry out every time your chihuahua puppy starts to nip at your hands or feet.
Turn around and walk away from the puppy after you've cried out. The puppy is more than likely nipping because it wants to play, so by constantly walking away once it does bite, you teach it that biting will not get it attention.
Inform other household members and visitors to do the same thing so your chihuahua puppy learns it isn't acceptable to bite anyone.
Place coins in an empty soda can and cover the opening of the can with duct tape. If the puppy doesn't get scared by your yelping out, shake the can instead. Remember to shake the can every time the puppy bites.
