Spot doesn't like to be brushed and nips while I am brushing him. I give him a toy that he can bite till his hearts content. He knows, that if he wants to bite something while I am brushing him, he takes out his little anger mgmt problems on his toy- not my hand.
Afterwards, if he was a good boy, he gets treats.
