when dogs see things running away ... they are more apt to chase and nip
what you need to do is first tell your daughter to stop running away from your pup ... when it nips
It's a firm No!
She must stand her ground
Then to fix the dominance situation have your daughter be the one to feed the pup

Thanks for the advice. I have told her to say No but my daughter is not very good at the "firm" part. She is very soft-spoken so the NO doesn't come across as having any importance to the pup.
I am not sure what you mean about
: train your daughter the ins and outs of training about mouthing? Can you elaborate?
Thanks
