OP: I read your post again and am wondering now if perhaps Zoey is trying to play with your granddaughter. I didn't realize she is only 8 months old. I have a 7 month old pup and she loves to play with my pups...often growling and barking and biting their ears .. play stuff. It's a puppy thing. Maybe when she is doing this, your granddaughter could try to start playing fetch with her? Might help her run some of her energy off. Definitely do not allow your granddaughter to pick her up or hug her...or put her face close to her.
I would definitely find a way for this puppy to get some active play time!! |
