Why does my puppy nibble my fingers?

Asked by Dr_Dredd (10540points) May 22nd, 2010

She’s an 8 month-old bichon frise. Usually she’s very calm and sweet and just licks my hands. However, when I come home from work, she gets very excited and starts nibbling as she greets me. I’ve tried saying “No!” in a firm voice, I’ve tried substituting a chew toy whenever she does it, and I’ve tried “time-outs.” How can I stop this?
