Hi guys, checking in again for a light at the end of the tunnel. My 5 month old Lola is still bitey alot of the time when excited. Mouthy and nippy, feet and hands. I know I've heard that alot of dogs "outgrow" this in 2nd half of the first year (given consistency of not allowing of course). Ignoring works best as all else excites her. She is getting spayed soon as well. She is so great in all other ways: social, confidant, lets us know re: potty, not a destroyer, good with baths, travel, walking on leash, sit, down, and being in her crate. Also sleeps through the night. I'm trying to count my blessings but as you all know biting can be a big pain. Oh and barking at us also can accompany it. Would love a shout out from those who have come through to the other side. I admit I feel a little embarrassed when she acts crazy with visitors.
Thanks.
