Nikki, I've had Asher since he was 7wks as well. He's 13 wks now, and teething pretty badly. He's got tons of toys and a house shoe shaped like a dog that he plays with. But he never stays interested for long. I even got him a puppy Kong that he's given up on. Its like he doesn't even want the treats! I've resorted to just picking him up and putting the harness on him. He tries to eat it, but after its on, he leaves it alone now.
Angel, I don't have a pen, but as far as ignoring him to get him to stop biting, it doesn't seem to work. I throw my hands up in the air and stop looking at him, and he bites me on the side, or my upper arm. And if I get up and walk away, he just attaches himself to my pant leg.
Kirby, when you flip the puppy on its back, how do you know that they've "surrendered"? Is that when they turn their head away from you? I've done it a few times now, and that's what Asher does. As soon as I let him go, he's fine for a few minutes and then goes back to whatever he was doing. |
