I, too, get a lot from reading the posts of what people have tried to see what's worked for them. My 10 week old puppy, Sookie, has also been a handful when it comes to biting and trying to be dominant. We've been using the Cesar Milan "on her side" until she "submits" and it does work but often there's a squabble with her about it and she's just soooo tiny and fragile feeling I don't like doing it. I'm glad to have been reminded about the canned air method from . Stilwell - "It's me or the Dog" and think I'll try that before I head for the spray bottle. What about your puppy's reaction to grooming? Sookie gets literally vicious if I try to comb or brush her. Tips?
