| You can say no and then give her a chew toy, you can make a high pitched yelp like one of her siblings would do, you could say no and then put her down and walk away and you could always do a squirt bottle of water. Did you just get her?

| We got her when she was 9 weeks old. We have done all the chew toys and saying no or ouch sternly. She will play with toy for a few mins and than wants to bite again. |

| Welcome to YT. What your baby is doing to play biting, not biting in a vicious manner. You must be consistent with the command no biting in a firm voice, not yell, scream or using a harsh tone, just a firm tone. She is just a baby, she doesn't know what soft or hard biting is. Patience and consistency are key factors in training. Everyone in your home must use the same command word, no biting.

| That's because she left her mom before her mom taught her about biting. You really just have to be consistent and keep at it. I got my last puppy at 9 weeks and he had a bit of an issue as well, whenever he was in my lap I would always have a puppy chew toy with me and I would squeal high pitched when he would bite and he would normally stop and I would put the toy in his mouth. It took awhile but he does not bite anymore.

Definitely keep it up and be consistent and make sure everyone in your household does the same. I found it also useful to use a lower register when saying "NO". They generally associate high pitch voices to fun and play, versus low pitch voices to serious business. I also look at them in the eye when I say "NO". But, as a puppy, it'll take some time for them to learn the ways. Just be patient, persistent, and consistent.

Just experienced that this a.m. with my 15-week-old. It was in response to trying to extract something from his mouth, full-bared-teeth-ferocious-growl biting.
