Nena never did that, she was very calm..she used to bark when we were playing but never growled or bit me..
Rufus on the other hand had a period when he used to growl and bit me..once drew blood..I guess he was testing me to see who the pack leader was lol

So every time he growled or tried to bit, I stopped him and gave him time-out until he grew out of it...
It seems cute because she's so small but try to stop it. Even though she is small and cute, she is still a dog
