congrats on your new little bundle of joy! it's so sad that the pup came from such poor conditions and was given to you so young. but it's great that you are doing such a great job with her, she's a lucky little girl. as far as all the biting goes, you might want to read up on "bite inhibition" which can be a problem when pups are seperated from the litter/ mother so young. this could be why she is biting so much. plus if her teeth are coming in that could also explain why. when i adopted my little pixie she did a lot of hand biting too. she was almost 5 months old and was seperated from her brother and mother at a pretty young age (unknown exactly when). we would literally say "ouch" very loud when she did it to help her understand that it hurts. sounds crazy but it worked pretty well. wishing you all the best with your new little one that you have been wanting for so long, and welcome to yorkie talk. this is a truly wonderful place full of people who care and are always there when you need them! |
