It's usually when we're walking around in the kitchen.. She'll bite on her pant legs and try to play tug o war....
I am going to enroll her in the puppy preschool classes so hopefully, that will help if she was around other dogs. I also have been trying hard to keep her socialized. I take her with me to the stores, to the mall, to relative homes.... I really really hope she doesn't have agression issues. I already love her so much...the biting has been so hard. |
i remember myself saying the same things and i was sooo concerned i really didnt think it would ever stop.... but it definately did
one thing to do is establish the "alpha" in the home... lol and it should be you
not the puppy... and try redirection like giving it something she CAN chew when biting inappropriately.... when you tell her "no" and she stops treating her i tried to get her to give me kisses instead of bites and when she did she got treated and praised
and training goes a long way she is at the perfect age for it
if you click on my name and look for other posts you will see i have a ton of threads i started on biting - check'm out they may help you
it really DOES get better with age tho
