if bailey nips at me i give a loud ouch she soon learnt not to nip ,i put a stair gate between the kitchen and front room so at meal times the dog stays in the kitchen with her dinner while we eat ours in the front room ,the main rule i have with my dog is that i never give food to the dog from my hand it all has to be in her bowl as soon as you feed them from your hand the dogs thinks it ok to take food from you hope this helps
