maybe she views you as a pal and not her pack leader. She doesnt see you in that role. So it may be you have to go back to day one and make her realize YOU are in charge not her. I got alot of this advice on here and it did help my kids get more control over our dog.
Stop trying to train her to do commands. Go back to step one and get her to respect you as the boss.
Be firm with her (not yell) firm. Try almost growling when you see her doing something wrong (sounds strange but they equate it with being with their first leader, mom.)
When she does not comply, ignore her. Completely. Turn your back. If she is nipping at your feet, pick her up and put her in another room alone for 15 minutes. Do not take her out until she is quiet for 15 minutes. She starts again with the feet, do it again. Keep doing it until she gets that that behavior is unacceptable.
If she is behaving she earns some play time with you. If she gets over excited and starts nipping at the feet again, tell her firm NO and put her in the room for 15 minutes. You have to do it EVERY time until she gets it..
Once she sees you as the leader I think the command training will come easier but I think you need to abandon the commands until she views you as the boss..good luck! |
