By corrections, what we're doing is saying "No" or "Leave it" firmly and giving her one of her toys to chew on instead.
We do take socialization seriously. We have let her meet all the human neighbors and one of the dogs (who we know is up to date on shots). She also interacts with our 7 yr old shepherd mix (who acts like an annoyed uncle with her)...
Personality wise, she seems like a happy, playful puppy who isn't bothered by much. She's been for car rides, to our parents house, to the vet, didn't even flinch when I started the lawn mower... she is just happily exploring the world. I want to expose her to as much as I can (safely of course ie. shots). As soon as she's older we plan on taking her to the pet stores, the home depot, parks, etc.. so she can encounter sites, sounds, smells and be comfortable in any sitation.
I have a 4yr old and 8 m/o daughter.. she's met both, but only has interaction with our 4 yr old when monitored.. the two play very well together. |
