what do i do here?
Colt did this as well , because he was taken from his littermates and mother farrrrrr too early! He was already taken from them when I bought him so I took him under my wing and let him be a puppy!! You need to let yours be a puppy! I have found in situations like this the best expectations is to have none at all. Honestly. I have another dog, Marley who put Colt in his place when he bit too hard, she would bite him back and show him that it hurt or she would bark at him to let him know she meant business. Puppies are not evil. Colt growled at me too, don't take it personal. He still nips at my nose at times when I pick him up (he's 3 1/2 months now ) but as soon as I say NO! he licks my nose as if to say sorry momma, I know better. It seems like he is being mean as hell, but he's not, hes being a puppy. Just be kind and patient. I haven't kept up on your threads but you got her way too young, whether it was by choice or not. You have her now and all you can do it love her and if she starts to be too rough, give her a suitable chew toy, because FlDebra and Nancy1999 are right, she is teething and will be for a long time. Get her a few stuffed animals for dogs around her size that she can bite and thrash around. Hope this advice helps.
