It just sounds like your puppy looks at your family as another playmate, not the alpha dog. There are some very good ideas from people. Just remember to be VERY consistant because if you even let her get away with it once, she will always remember that. Just like kids. When my yorkie doesnt listen, I grab her carefully by the scruff, carefully set her on the ground and act like i have my mouth on her neck. Once she stops resisting, I let go. She usually acts submissive and listens to everything I say. We have a constant battle of who is the alpha, because.. well.. shes just too dang cute! lol
