If I'm in the kitchen I'll unload the dishwasher or turn my attention to the TV. Basically, get your attention off of her (of course keeping the Yorkie Mommy Eyes that we all have in the back of our heads watching her every move) This usually diffuses Sophie. Sometimes she starts back up on bitting my feet/shoes. But ignoring her works best. You can be in the same room and still ignore her, so to speak. Sorry..wish I had more for you. This puppy stage sure is tough and I can say that I do relate! |
Thanks, that's a good point. A lot of times when I try that she bites my pant legs and I can't walk (and walking makes it a game for her) so I get frustrated. I guess I just need to stand still and not move until she gives up.
