Here is a good article on puppy biting. She is probably also teething. How old is she? http://www.canismajor.com/dog/bite2.html |
Well, I wouldn't have taken her from her mom too soon but I didn't know any better because I hadn't really researched on them a lot. Plus, the "breeder" I bought her from didn't really act like she cared about taking her at such a young age since she sold all her puppies like that which is a whole other story that I'm trying to get up enough nerve to ask you all about. ANYWAYS.
We don't play tugging games with her... because I read somewhere that it makes them more aggressive and that was the last thing I needed. We haven't been putting her in her crate when she does something bad because I didn't want to associate it as a bad thing since that's where she sleeps and everything since she's still so young... although last night after she bit Rickey he told her "NO" and put her right in it. Thanks for the link and the advice though!
