IF ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO CONTROL THIS I NEED IT!
But anyway, I decided that I would try to train her the sit command, well after 2 days (each day 15-20 minutes) she has learned to sit on command. I'm so happy and proud of her. Now I'm going to move on to paw and other paw and stay. |
Yaaaay Lucy! 14 weeks is pretty good for "sit"! Congrats to both of you!
I promise you that the nipping will stop with age. Both of mine did this, and it lasted about 3 weeks for both of them. Try making a great big "OWWW" or a sharp "OUCH!" when she does it-usually that will scare them off
