We do ignore her and stop play when she bites, and she hates it! She'll run in front of us and bark (the only time she actually ever barks). We bought her the bullysticks, and that seems to keep her the most busy. |
If she barks and tries to get in front of you turn again. Just keep ignoring her and do NOT let her initiate play. You and your boyfriend should always be the ones that start the play with her. If she brings you toys ignore her. When you want to initiate the play that is when she should play. If she starts to bite ignore. Treat for good~ignore for bad. Never ever roll her over onto her back as a way to control her! This is not the way to teach her manner. It would be the same as smacking her with a newspaper to get her to obey you~its old school.
If you want to learn other really good ideas watch It's Me or the Dog. Love Victoria Stillwell! But if you are consistent NOW you will not need VS in your future
BTW~I just love your name!
