8 week old yorkie biting - Pit Bull strength! So I'm the happy "father" of an 8 week old little girl. I've had her for 4 days now, and she seems to be adjusting extremely well. I get lots of kisses when I get home, she never shies from me, and she LOVES to play. She seems extremely happy and she never wants to leave my side.
The only problem is though, is she seems to be biting EXTREMELY hard when we play. She loves her toys and I've made an effort to find toys that are fairly tough and squishy at the same time (she loves her nylabone), in an attempt to find toys that feel like my hands.
My concern is that she's taking it pretty far, to the point of drawing blood at one point. She doesn't do this with any of my friends or anyone else, and I'm trying to tell myself that she doesn't hate me, but it's getting tough. We play a lot and I don't mind her playing rough and biting me, but I don't want it to continue after she's a puppy. I'm worried that she will think this is ok and do this with other people or a child or something later.
I don't want to stop her from playing, because that's what it seems like she's doing, but it really does seem like she's trying with all of her being to bite as hard as she can.
Has anyone else had this happen? Should I do my best to keep her from doing it at all, so it doesn't last until later? Is it possible she's just really into the playing? I hope she isn't upset with me or something! |
