Re: New (overwhelmed)Rott owner has questions!!

I don't think the nipping was aggressive. She just might be mouthy and was never trained out of it. I've heard you can make a big deal out of it, and every time she nips you or puts her teeth on you, yell "OWW!" and then ignore them for a moment so they know that behavior isn't what you like.

Wow, 18 dogs in a training session, that's huge? I don't blame her for being overwhelmed. Good for you getting a private training session.

As for AngelBunny's mention of insurance, if you insurance doesn't cover it, I know for a fact that State Farm and Traveler's does, so it is an easy fix.

Good for you taking this sweet girl in. She sounds lovely and reading on these forums will be great for you and her. Soak up all the info you can, you're going to need it!!!
