| Nippy Puppy Sophie is now 14 weeks old. Her play is constant. How do I get her to realize her sharp little teeth hurt. "No" does not seem to last very long when I correct her for biting. I stop playing when she starts biting but that only lasts till she get wound up again. I love her playful nature and how active she is but those baby teeth are like razors. Any advice? |

| How old was she when you got her? That happens a lot when a puppy has not stayed with there mom until 12 weeks and is one of the reason that is recommended. When Callie would bite I would say no and squirt her with a squirt bottle and it was the only thing that worked for us.

| She was 10 and 1/2 weeks. She came from a very reputable breeder so I don't think she would not have let her go if she didn't think she was ready. Although she knew I had lost my Yorkie of 13 years and was much in need of Sophie. |

| Reputable breeders fallow the mother club which is the Yorkshire Terrier Club of American and it says puppies should not leave there mom until 12 weeks because they are still learning a lot fromthere moms. But it's ok we all do oopsie things thats how we learn. I didn't know about brokers when I got mine and she came from one who got there pups from a puppy mill. It doesn't make your puppy any less cute or lovable it's just something to know for next time.

| We are gettting ready for our first RV trip today. This should be interesting. Sophie looks bigger than her 3 1/2 pounds in the bicycle basket. She is a little unsure but this first time out I will just walk her around. She is secure in the basket with a harness. The second picture I stuck my foot in the picture to show a comparison size. My foot is not small..LOL but she is. |

| Harness is attached to basket in two areas where she can sit or lay down but cannot jump out! I'm not a spring chicken...more a chicken....I go pretty slow and I walk hills. |

I was just look for imput on how others handle puppies who like to use us as chew toys. My dog is not a puppy mill dog. I have followed this breeder for 7 or more years.

| Sophie's Sire...I think she is going to have his coloring. Her mother is similar but a little darker. |

| I would say ouch real loud tell them no and give them something they could chew on like a toy. I know its frustrating right now but that biting on the toes and things stage is a puppy stage it doesnt last

| Jack started off like that. We got him on the 10th at 10 weeks old and he looooooooves to play bite. He doesn't bite hard but he throws a nibble in there when he's really excited. We would simply tell him No or Ouch when he did it and put him down. When he gave kisses though, we'd praise him. So far, he doesn't do it anymore & gives lots and lots of kisses. So happy he learned quickly lol
