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! |
ur right I don't think she see me full as the boss. just as someone she can play with and go after whenever she fell like it. now I have to find a places to put her for a while after she does it. I do say NO firm but she just don't care. I have even tryed to walk away from her all she does fall me and try to get my feet that way. now if it was just mine I wouldn't say to much about it. but she going after my mom feet. and that we don't want her to. she does have type 2 dibitiy I am not to sure on to spell it. and she does have problems with her feet at time. one of this days Fancy going to get us to fall and we just might go down on her and she wouldn't like that at all. but I will try to get her to think of me as a boss and her mom and someone to play with too. just have to keep up the work. maybe everyone has to do the samething don't u think or just me first and then someone else in the family or what.
