That is the major downside to getting your puppy too soon. She missed all the valuable lessons on puppy manners like socialization and bite inhibition they should learn from their mom and littermates.
When she's older and had all her vaccinations (about 20 weeks), enroll her in puppy kindergarten. In the meantime, you will have to try and teach her bite inhibition and manners yourself.
Had she stayed with her mom until 12 weeks, she would have learned that the fun stops if you bite too hard. Ignoring her when she gets too rough is the best idea. Her mom and littermates would yelp if bitten too hard so you can try that, too. |
