I'm not sure you will ever be able to correct this behavior and I'm afraid I have no advice to offer but perhaps this is not the kind of behavior you want to pass on to the puppies? I know your family members all would like free puppies but if those puppies have the same disposition and propensity to be "stress piddlers" will all those family members still be happy with the puppies? That would be a primary concern of mine. You really want the puppies to find good and loving forever homes don't you? I can't imagine any one raising puppies not wishing for that. It sounds like she is not a good breeding prospect and maybe you should take the poster up on her offer to rehome and go back to the drawing board. I know it's discouraging but I have researched this and puppies do seem to take on much of their parents personalities. maybe not always but is that a chance you want to take? |
