Re: Still biting, need more advice.

Without knowing her and how reactive she is, you might consider that, (although this recommendation might not be PC), she is no longer a baby puppy but becoming an adolescent and I think it is more than time that she receive a correction and one that makes a lasting impression. We are not talking about puppy mouthing here, but bites. That is quite different from mouthing or puppy grabbing. There is a point where the puppy passport expires and the young dog is expected to responsible for its actions and responsible for the reaction that occurs. She is obviously past the point where begging her not to bite is appropriate and that is what (at this age) redirecting and rewarding becomes. One should not be expected to reward a 6 month old for "not" biting. An older household dog would have creamed her at this point. Time she went to church and got religion.
