I take her to the kitchen where she has timeout for up to 5 mins depending how quickly she settles down but now when I pick her up to take her she is continuing to bite me and this is when she punctured the skin on my hand.
When she is good and licks and plays nicely she gets lots of praise and treats its just the biting is now taking over the play-she wont take any interest on a toy instead of a hand.
Just wondered is there something I am doing wrong or do I continue with removing her and praising the good play? I have just returned her straight to the kitchen after 5 mins as the first thing she did on coming back in was bite my son who is sick on the sofa
Many thanks xxxxxx

Some dogs DO get more excited by high-pitched yelps - it's one thing to be wary of, particularly if your dog is a type bred to kill rats and/or other squeaky things
