| about BITTING I know that I have done one about bitting on her already. I did get some help. But she is just getting header with her bitting and she just don't listen. and she does ruffhouse when we try to play with her. We have try the water bottled and ever other thing u could think of. So we just don't know what else we could do to get her to stop this bitting. I have try to not to pay anything to her and that don't work to well either. if anyone got anything that we haven't thinking before pls let me know and thanks. |

| Try not to ruffhouse with her so much. When she bites, say Ouch and stop playing. If she continues, try faking crying. Sometimes this upsets them enough to make them stop. Then wait a little bit, and begin gentle playing with her. Also try to teach her 'Easy', to tone down her play when she gets overly excited. Don't play tug-of-war with her either. Be sure to tell her "Good Girl" when she is not biting, or when she stops for a few seconds. If they don't know what you want, they won't know to do it. So when she stops for a second, reward and praise her, then make her wait a bit longer the next time, etc.

| but the thing of it is we don't ruffhouse with her. we try to pick her up sometime she go into ruffhousing or run from us. and we have said ouch and that don't work. but I don't think we say good girl when she stop bitting. I have said think you thats my good or good job but not that much. but we do play tug-of-war but when we do that she is in her pin/bed and we don't do it that much few times a day just to tired her out if the running around the house don't do it. |

| This sounds like a possible bonding/trust issue. Do you take her for walks with a harness and a leash? That will help with bonding, and will also help tire her out. Has she ever been dropped, or jumped out of someone's arms? This can scare them and it will take time and patience to get them to trust being held again. Instead of trying to pick her up, try sitting on the floor with her, and have a treat ready when she comes to you. Praise and treat her when she comes to you, if she runs away, don't chase after her.... this becomes a fun game for her. If she climbs in your lap, but wants down after a few seconds, let her down. Gradually she will want to stay longer in your lap. Use treats like Cheerios, that you can eat too. This should get her interested in coming to you to see what you're eating... then give her one or two. (but don't share your meals with her). Once she really starts bonding with you, the biting should stop. Putting a tiny bit of peanut butter on your fingers will encorage her to lick your hand, instead of biting it. Going after feet.... she may want to play... tell her 'Ah, ah!' and redirect her attention to a favorite toy instead. Some of these suggestions may or may not work. I do recommend you try them out, sometimes it may take two or five times before you'll see any effect. Is there anything that you know of that is making her act the way she does?

| she has jummped/fell out of my arams/chair we was sitting at. but she let us pick her up all the time and hold her. she will sit in my lap for a short or a long time. we have done some walking sometime it's just hard to do that when she just don't really want to listen to anyone. she think she the boss. lot of the time we are sitting on the bed or in the chair when she does some of the bitting but she does it when I am up walking. she use to not go after my mom feet but older she get the more she start to go after hers and started to bit a little harder too. I know she still a puppy but there a lot of puppy have stop it and some have keep on going till they are one. I just wish she would stop and listen when we tell her no bit or that hurts. but she just don't want to listen. |
