She has many toys and uses them, but still bites us. Even though it doesn't hurt us much now since she is so small, I don't want it to become a habit that she continues when she gets older.
Is this normal behavior of a puppy her age? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to teach her not to bite us? I would really appreciate it! |
We went through this BAD with my Westie.
What worked for us was a loud No bite or Ow! then hand her something appropriate for her to chew on. As soon as they bite you, pull your hand away- no more petting/love. They learn quick!
Also, the talking Elmo (like $12 at Wal-Mart) was a life saver!
