Ok so she wasn't socialized by her mommy...but how can I help her get socialized now? Do you mean she will chew and chew and then become a biter when she grows up?
I try to repeat "no" to her but I think she's too young to understand it yet...she doesn't even know her name. So i say "no" and accompany it with a loud noise to distract her and she miiiight stop...but usually after 2-4 repeats :P |
There are a number of things you can try. She's just very young, so you will have to be patient. She will learn what "no" means, especially when it's repeated
One thing someone on here suggested is to snap at her as if you were her mother and sort of pinch her. That's one I never did.
I would just say "no" sharply and with force and turn away - stop playing with her. If she quits biting, then let her come back to you and play nicely. If she starts again, then repeat that until she understands. She will understand soon. She's just a baby.
Something else you can try is to put a bunch of coins in a metal container and shake it whenever she starts biting and see if that works better. If not, then try what we suggested above. It will just take patience. Don't expect miracles overnight, because she is so very young. But they are very smart and she will learn. Patience and consistency in training are the two things that will work.
