Thank you to all! I have read & tried some of your suggestions. Walking always made her more energized. I throw a frisbee to her each day & that seems to work better but not much. The puppy biting seems to have increased more that it was before. I am trying real hard to just keeep saying no & with time this may be the answer. She is more attached to me than my husband since I am the one that caters to her every need. I am getting my husband more involved with her. He thinks she is just adorable & calls her sweetheart all the time but never was really responsible for taking care of her needs. As for as my grandson, for now she will always be a toy to her. I have tried the can with the "coins or marbles" in it, no good. It does not stop her at all. When you say you keep a leash on your dog, does your dog not chew on it? When I take her out in the morning, (I have to take her out at 5:30 AM & it is still dark & we have skunks & groundhogs in our area even though we are in the city) I must put a leash on her & she chews on it after she goes potty. I would love to keep a leash on her all the time because she is very hard to pick up with all her jumping all over the place.
Thank you all again. You may find this hard to believe but I am a really patient person, that is what makes this so hard for me. She keeps pushing buttons I never knew I had! |
