Odd new habit that I need to know if I should stop or be concerned!!

Sometimes I felt the need to take them up by the scruff of her neck while correcting them to help to get my point across. Its a natural thing that the mother dog would do to put them in there place. Plus it helped establish my leadership/alpha role. You just have to remember to be firm but gentle !

See I do the scruff and bite back if they bite me, I just did not know if it would work since she is biting him.

Well I wouldn't suggest going that far. Plus I wouldn't suggest trying to stop her in the act of the bite or she just may turn to bite you instead. But calmly go get her and correct the bad behavior asap. If you wait she wont know why shes bing corrected only that mamma is being mean.

I know it is not funny to your poor little guy but I could not help but laugh when I read it. I would tell her no and try to stop the behavior. Puppy teeth hurt on a finger I could not imagine puppy teeth on a males privates. Ouchie.

Well you need to teach her no teeth

If you see her going for it, call her name and say no firmly.

I did not notice it until Ryan and I caugh her doing it for the carrot and then twice since and all 3 times we have just been in shock and not had even been able to get a word out lol

This is a bit off topic, but I just HAVE to ask. What does she do to the cute guy in your avatar when HE has something that Stella wants?

I agree with the others who say that Stella's weeny nipping days should be nipped in the bud.

[GuinnessStout]

don't give her any ideas at this point I would not put it past her to nip him there too.

You shouldn't use there name when scolding them or they will be afraid when they hear there name.

Should I try to stop it since it appears Guinness is just going to run in pain in hide??? Is this even normal?? Or do I just have a mini satan female in fur???

By the way Stella is almost 13 weeks Guinness is almost 2.

I know you are seriously looking for help with this situation, but I got such a good laugh out of this. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. She is something else again. She definitely knows how to get her way. I have not got advice though because my girls are very laid back and do not fight over anything with the boys. If they do something wrong though I put them by themselves somewhere for a time out. That seems to work.

[GuinnessStout]

How do I attract these yorkies??? Haha why can't I seem to find a normal one like others have???

And even I am speechless at the no teeth comment... Ryan reply was well I guess if we teach her that then we can't call her his sister anymore

Okay - I tried not to laugh, but you have to admit, that is quite brilliant of her! Not unlike some other females I know... using their feminine wiles to get their way or in Stella's case, a bit of the Lorena Bobbit tactic without the knife Poor Guinness - but I do concur with the others - you have to put a stop to this now or Guinness may end up like John Wayne Bobbit!

Are you sure that she's not trying to nurse from him ?
