Re: Growling/Biting when taking things out of puppies mouth

Sammy;
Its me again,Laura, Hey, my bad, I missread your young pup's age, I read 10 months, your girl's 10 weeks, barely off the teet, and missin mom! The accountability I refered to in my previous e-mail is too much for 10 wks., yes, to the scruff shake, but gently, same L of the jaw, same grrr, no, but geltly, and redirect. Have a favorite squeekey toy to sound, or a rope toy, or something wonderfull and trade. If you have her attention fully, show her the " no, no", then in "happy" voice, show her the "yes, Yeah", again, show the "no,no" then the "happy, Yes, Yeah" and give it to her, remember exercise, a dog brought to fatigue, daily is a dog without behavior problems, and be consistent with your verbal commands and expectation, dogs dont do moods, welcome to the pack, and God Bless.
