She is going through a very impressionable age and does not have litter mates or mom to guide her. She needs some positive training where she learns to associate things like being picked up with GOOD things like yummy treats. Depending on her shots, it might not be too early for puppy class. If it is, consider one on one with a good positive trainer in the meantime. Every dime we've spent on Loki's trainer has been worth it, even when we can't really afford it. He has a very difficult personality. He tries to pick fights with the Dobermans at class (don't worry, they are sweet as can be and ignore him). Anyway, we have trained him from the start with a professional and I can say for sure that if we had not done that he would be an absolute monster and we'd be going out of our minds in frustration. Channel that energy and sign up for a puppy class and a professional evaluation. Good luck!! |
