Hi doggie! No, my dog isn't aggressive, or mean. When she's nipping at me or anyone else, it's never in meanness, it seems an attempt to get attention or something, but I am never fearful when she's doing it, just seriously annoyed. Judi has corresponded with me since I brought the dog home from Virginia, and as she stated, she's simply a brat. I've tried ignoring her, correcting her, rewarding her for not biting, turning my back on her, darn near barking at her, and nothing thus far has worked. I completely agree with Judi's assessment, though I am open to suggestions. But I will tell you that I plan on using a CTJ meeting the very next time she does this. Honestly, I don't have the patience to coddle her and this behaviour any more, she just needs to stop. It's unacceptable for her to still be biting at this age. I got her at 8 weeks old, and I've been trying since a few days after getting her until now to get her to stop biting myself, my mother, and my friends. I definitely won't hit her, but I'm going to make it very clear to her that biting is a no-no. I'll check into collars also, as I said I'll try anything at this point.
