Having an issue atm with molly. She has always done this and it has never bothered me until lately. When she is on her tie out in the day and I go to let her off for her evening run in the woods she gets overly excited and nips me. I know there is a term for this but I forgot what it was called. She has always done this but not so much actually nipping me, I will tell her to sit to un-clip the tie out and as im reaching down she usually does a few, what I call, "air nips" where she just nips the air. They arent aggressive nips where she is intentionally trying to inflict pain or anything she is just really excited. Sometimes she will jump around doing it before she settles down and sits. But lately she has actually nipped me a few times, not hard enough to break skin but it does bruise a little. I know she is excited to get let off to go chase rabbits and hunt oppossums but getting nipped sucks lol. Anyone know how I could correct it? I've been telling her "no" when she does the nipping in the air and kinda scolding her when she does make contact with my hand but im not sure if there is another way to curb this?

I saw one facebook comment that was new, that the breed was created by royalty to be baby sitters/guardians
and just the thing about them "being created for that" how does "let's breed a terrier(weren't a lot of children getting nipped by their Jack Russles when everyone wanted teir own "Wishbone"?) to a fighting dog to be a baby sitter"
