Nibbling

Why does my dog nibble on me like he is chewing for fleas?

Answer #1

See: http://www.funadvice.com/q/nibblers Also,

Nibbling is just her way of showing affection.

I would not encourage it too much as when he gets older, this may turn to harder biting even though he may still think he is playing.

Answer #2

I call them “love bites”…My old German Shepherd only did it to people liked, and to our cat (who he loved)…I know it’s “love”, but damn it can hurt!!
