With pups this young, I would suggest acting like her real momma and try growling at her. Even now, my two older retired Moms will growl first to let the offender know to stop whatever behavior they're doing. You may have to experiment to find the right pitch and duration of growl that will work, but when you do, the pup should stop in their tracks and might even go lay down. Use the growl in combination with a 'No' so she will learn to associate the spoken word with the growl.
Tapping on the nose only infuriates them more. You can try a light tap to the side of the neck, or even a hand over the shoulders with a gentle but purposeful pressure may have more effect. |
