I'm having the same problem with Mia! She is 19 weeks today, and she bites and chews EVERYTHING! Some days she is obedient, and other days--like TODAY!--she bites hard and is impossible to distract. I don't know how to get her to stop. She doesn't listen to "NO!". I have tried saying OUCH really loud, folding my arms and ignoring her, but she just attacks my pant legs or shoelaces then. Eventually, I end up putting her back into her playpen, but when I let her back out it is the same story all over again. She has loads of toys, a rope, frozen cloth bone, and a Kong (which she has no interest in.) Somebody please tell me that she will grow out of this and be a well-behaved dog someday! She is no longer the sweet, placid puppy we fell in love with (though we still love her!) |
