 My Sophie bites.. HARD!
We got our Sophie about a month ago. I am in love with her. The potty training is going pretty good. She still has accidents, but if I bring her out enough times during the day, she will be fine. The issue I have with her is her very aggressive biting. I've been told to try chew toys, nylon bones, pigs ears, or the bones that break off. She starts to bite them but she always turns to my hands or feet instead. When we put her on the couch or bed with us, she bites our hands and feet until the bleed, or jumps for our face parts. We then tell her "no bite" in a stern voice and put her on the floor, but she'll whimper and cry until we put her back up.. but it goes on. We've tried yelping "ouch" in a sharp tone, but it doesn't work.. we've tried flicking her nose, but we're scared to hurt her. Will she grow out of this? Is it because she's teething or does she have aggression problems? Any other suggestions? It's just become so painful... |
