Good for you, TreeClimber. It's always great when an owner decides to take action for the betterment of their pet companions.
I think this counts. I've certainly made some adjustments to the way I do things so my dog would stop nipping at me.
Every time I'd get up from the bed, I would see Chooey running towards me with her mouth opening to nip on my toes. At first it felt like a nice doggy greeting but as she grew, her nipping started to become extremely annoying.
Now, the moment I get up and I see Chooey going towards me, I would say "Tsst" (like how Cesar Milan says it) so that she slows down before greeting me. She no longer nips but I am still greeted by a wagging tail every morning.
