I'm sorry that you're dealing with this as well. Chewie does what she did for two reasons, if she's picked up when she's guarding my feet--she's obsessed with my feet in particular-- or a special bone. Each time if she's had it taken away for growling she'll attempt to bite my husband and DOES bite my daughter. That's what happened the other day, only this time, she bit her very hard. |
Oh I see. Yes, my husband has done this with Skye also. I didn’t know what it was called. He doesn’t do it all the time. Sometimes he just touches her with a firm hand. Holds his hand on her till she stops. You know my breeder with our Ruger did this alpha roll thing with Ruger when Ruger would put his teeth on him. Puppies play very hard with their sharp teeth. We visited our Ruger at the breeder every week till he was ready to come home. This roll thing did seem to calm Ruger. When we brought him home we never used this technique. Hopefully you & I both can resolve this behavior.
