Ok so I don't know if this question has been posted before but I have to ask...
Like I've posted in another thread, my female Yorkie who is now 8 wks old has a problem with chewing and biting. I've been trying to say "no" to her and she isn't even pausing in her biting my ankles and fingers routine anymore! I spoke to the breeder I got her from, with whom I stay in contact because she is a really nice lady and cares about the pup and her future, and she said that I have to try really hard to stop this behavior now because when she becomes an adult she will bite ankles/fingers/furniture routinely!
Is this true? Why isn't "no" working? I know she's still very young but it's a bit scary now...I don't know, I'm really worried! It's like she gets carried away and just tries to get a my feet/crocs...even if I take them away or move she still tries to get them! And my fingers! When I try to pet her back she just tries to nip my fingers...I'm guessing it's playful, there's rarely any growling, but it's still obsessive in a way! I can tell!
Please please please help! Just now i tried putting her in the bathroom for 2 minutes as a "time-out" and she cried a bit while in there. When she came out she was ok, at least with fingers and ankles and slippers....as for the furniture I don't know!
I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself, I just really really DON'T want her to be a biter when she grows up.......
Thank you...
