Brandy is only doing what is a natural puppy behavior & I would be careful trying to teach her yourself as you do not want her to think that it's not OK to play. |
I'm glad you said what you did.. Silky was not hurt or made a sound.. Brandy knows when to back off if she sees another pup upset... A dashound showed her that in Fl..As for her being taken from her mom before 12 wks I think so because I got her at 14wk.. I mean all she does is what a puppy does best.. jump,lic, tug, and play bite.. But I saw just what happened she didn't nip or bite him she tuged his coat I donated to his mommy.. that my mother got her.. I think she may have just realized that the coat was her's ..lol who knows.. she does know how to act and when I clap my hands loud she stops doing what she is doing to see what I need to tell her.. We use lots of signs because I don't like screaming.. just basic things... it works for us but most people don't understand it..since I got Brandy I noticed she understands better if you signal her I even do it with my son so I guess she caught on..
