My biggest problem is my 3 year old loves to play with Karlee but he moves his hands around and she takes that as playing so she tries to jump to get his fingers and bite she can jump right up to his face when he in down in the floor playing so that's my biggest issue is getting Karlee to understand not to do my 3 year old like that and I've warned my 3 year old over and over to not get hyper around Karlee not to swing his hands around her but to be gentle but he just gets excited to play with his puppy he still does it so I know its gonna have to be Karlee that learns how to act around my son and to not be biting. I would get your Sadie around your niece often if you can so she gets used to your niece while Sadie is still young she will learn right off how to react around kids.  |
actually i don't say it gently, i actually say "NO GENTLE" to her, and sometimes when she's just nipped i keep pulling away and saying "GENTLE" and i also say that when i give a treat and she's taking it with teeth and not lips, give her a treat and pull away until she takes it gently by saying "GENTLE"
