Thanks to you both for the advice! I have been doing the "time out" thing for my own sanity, but I didn't think it would actually have any effect on Blake because I read somewhere that there is no "time out" in the wild, so puppies don't instinctually understand it. If it's worked for someone else, though, that's all the motivation I need to try!

And yes, I think she's nipping. But it's still something I'd like to encourage her to stop ASAP, as I'm afraid that one day she's going to nip a dog who bites back (I live in a complex where everyone has dogs, and we all stop to socialize).

Thanks again!
