 Re: 18 mo old nipping
She just seems to do it when she is excited to see the kids. This morning she had been taken out of her kennel put outside to potty and my daughter came downstairs to get in the bath and Jada was excited and nipped. Of course my daughter started crying and Jada was gotten after. I could tell by the dog she was just completely excited to see my daughter no aggression whatsoever. She has done this since we brought her home rescued. No I have to admit I do not feel that there is a qualified class locally and have never taken one either.
As for exercise I work from home so she is outside as much as she likes to be and plays with the neighbor dogs and our dauschund so I dont think lack of exercise is her problem. I will try the options that you both suggested and go from there just wondered if there was some other way. She also is not very interested in her toys as I dont believe she probably ever had any prior to our home so have been working on many different toys to find what she likes. bones she likes but still looking for something else have tried rope toys, tires, balls...  |
