| Re: help with puppy biting
Our pup is now 13 weeks. Sure, she does the same things, but we don't stress about it.
Here's what helps us and Mango:
When she gets really zoomie and wild (we call it the MangoTango) she usually needs a Kong and a nap,,, that's EVERY mid-morning and EVERY mid-afternoon, and bedtime. By now it's on a pretty regular schedule every day. (She needed twice as many naps just a couple weeks ago).
When she nips, it's usually because she's asking us to play with her. We fold our arms, say "OUT" and look at the ceiling until she lets go, then we either: 1- get down and play with toys, mouth-jive with the favorite toys, or
2- grab the treats and play "games" (our word for training sessions). Finally she's beginning to realize that she can ask us to play without shredding us to bits.
Either one wears her out. Hope these ideas help. |
