She is teething, and you probably have at least 3 more months of this! Her gums hurt and itch. Buy her natural chews and keep her in chew toys. When she bites you or the family, don't rap her on the nose - either tell her "NO" firmly, or keep a spray bottle handy with water. I must say, however, the water bottle never worked for Abbie. She loved it! She would have drowned before getting the point, so I had to stop using that deterrent. She must learn that human flesh is not teething material. When she bites you, immediately stop all play / attention for a period of time, until she learns she can play-bite softly.
Those puppy teeth are lethal! They're like needles. |
